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 holiday decorations around Canal Place, Cumberland

I lost the holiday decorations I had been stringing up at 6:30 p.m. last Tuesday, and they vanished from the hallway by Canal Place in downtown Cumberland. The bundle included two tinsel garlands, a painted wooden star, and a handful of ornaments that bring back memories of family dinners. I had laid them on a shelf by the fireplace at my sister's house off Baltimore Street, near Canal Place, and then stepped into the kitchen for a minute. I’m holding out hope they’ll be found tucked in a closet or left by a neighbor who picked them up by mistake.

LOST: Rabbits near Williamsport, MD.

LOST: Hi, I'm Sophie Bennett. I live near the C&O Canal in Williamsport. On Monday around 7:30 p.m., my two pet rabbits disappeared from their outdoor enclosure. I last saw them behind our yard near the willow by the canal, and I’ve followed footprints toward the bike path along the towpath. They’re a gray mini-lop and a white angora—small, curious, and quick. I've checked nearby yards and asked around, but I’m afraid they’ve wandered into a shed or under a deck somewhere along the Williamsport shore. It’s heartbreaking to think they’re out there, and I’m hoping for a safe return.

Lost organizers from fundraiser near Hagerstown

This morning at 9:05 a.m., I realized my organizers were missing from the volunteer room of the community hall near City Park in Hagerstown, by the fairgrounds. They’re a stack of bright-orange plastic organizers with metal rings, exactly what I use to sort donations for the weekly pantry drive. I left them by the back stairwell after packing the last box for today’s shift. Without them, the fundraiser stalls and the teams get tangled in a hurry. If you found them, please keep them somewhere obvious so I can grab them when I pass through.

Lost: Synthesizers in Western Maryland

I was heading home after a small gig Friday night, around 7:20 PM, near the C&O Canal Towpath trailhead in Williamsport, Western Maryland. My two synthesizers were in a black rolling flight case with a red pedalboard strapped on top. I must have left them in or near the car, and now they’re gone. The gear is essential to my sound—one of them has a blue tape mark on the corner and a sticker that reads 'Modular Mama.' I’m holding onto hope someone picked them up and understands they belong to a local musician who lives for these sounds.

Lost black microwave with dented corner

Morning at 8:15 a.m., I realized my microwave was missing from the hallway outside the Riverbend Apartments leasing office on Main Street in Hagerstown. I had just dropped the kids at daycare and stopped by the lobby to grab a snack before work, and the unit wasn’t there when I turned back. It’s a black mid-sized microwave, with a dent on the bottom-left corner and a small scratch on the door. I’m worried about dinner plans and feel a bit foolish for not keeping better track of it.

LOST: Power Tools near Maryland Theatre, Hagerstown

On Sunday around 5:40 p.m., I realized my power tools were missing from the garage at my home in Hagerstown, Western Maryland. The tools include a blue cordless drill and a metal toolbox with a red handle. I retraced my steps through downtown Hagerstown, checking the alley behind the Maryland Theatre and the town square, but I couldn't find them. I’m posting here because those tools are essential for my upcoming home project, and they mean a lot to me. If someone happened to have them, I’d be grateful to have them back.
