Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Western Maryland are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Western Maryland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Pocket Watches in Western Maryland

I was leaving a birthday dinner downtown Frederick last Monday around 6:45 PM and must have set my pocket watches down somewhere along Carroll Creek Park. One watch is gold with a tiny engraving on the back, the other is silver with a black dial and a long chain. They’re priceless to me, a heirloom from my grandfather, so I retraced steps along Market Street, the benches by Carroll Creek, and in front of the City Hall, but I came up empty. I’m hoping this post helps bring them back home. If found, please know how much they mean to me.

Lost passports in Western Maryland

I lost my passport around 1:15 p.m. on Saturday after stopping for a quick espresso at a cafe on North Potomac Street in Hagerstown. The blue cover and my photo were inside a small sleeve, and I last saw it on a chair by the window near the counter. This passport is essential for my work trip next week, and I’m worried about getting a replacement in time. If it's found, please keep it safe until it can be handed to the proper authorities.

Lost stamps in Western Maryland, help please

I lost my stamp collection, and I’m hoping it turns up. My name is Maya Collins, and last Friday at 5:30 PM I realized a few stamps were missing from the album I keep on the shelf by the window at the Washington County Library, downtown Hagerstown. The set includes a red 1910 commemorative and a small strip of green issues, worn from years of handling. I last touched the album near the window by the cafe and then walked out toward the C&O Canal Trail. These stamps were my grandfather's and carry memories of summers spent along the canal. I’m trying not to panic, but I’d be grateful for any hint through the site about their whereabouts.

Lost GPS devices near Valley Mall, Hagerstown

I was at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown around 4:15 PM yesterday, and I realized my GPS devices weren't in my bag after I left the food court. I retraced my steps from the mall entrance to several benches near the fountain, checked the seating areas, and even asked at the information desk, but they didn’t turn up. The devices are essential for my work trips and keeping logistics on track, so I’m hoping a good Samaritan found them and will report them through the site. I’m posting this in the hope the finder sees it and helps reunite us.

Silver charm bracelet with emerald heart

I lost my silver charm bracelet yesterday around 3pm. It's a 7-inch, slightly tarnished sterling-silver piece with a small emerald heart charm and a tiny lighthouse bead. The lobster clasp is engraved on the inside with the initials 'A.P.' and one emerald facet has a tiny chip. I think I wore it to the Valley Mall area in Hagerstown, Western Maryland, and I might have left it near the outdoor seating by the food court. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds big sentimental value – I'd really appreciate getting it back.

Silver charm bracelet with heart-locket charms

I lost my silver charm bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on West Franklin Street in downtown Hagerstown. It’s a delicate silver chain with several tiny charms: a blue enamel star, a heart locket, and a tiny safety-pin charm. The heart locket is engraved with the initials 'PR' on the back. The bracelet is slightly tarnished but still in decent condition, and it means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother and carries sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back, and I’m hoping it turned up near Valley Mall or by the library on West Washington Street.
