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 Wichita 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 Wichita in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost coins near Keeper of the Plains statue

I lost my grandfather's coin collection this morning around 9:15 AM near the Keeper of the Plains statue at Riverside Park in Wichita. I must have dropped the small brown leather pouch from my jeans pocket while I paused to take a photo of the river. The pouch is the size of a tennis ball, worn, with a frayed drawstring. Inside are coins dating from the 1950s through the 1990s, mostly copper, with a few silver-toned commemoratives. Losing them feels like losing a family memory. I'm hoping someone picked them up and can return them to the site so I can reclaim a small piece of history. Please keep an eye out for anything that looks like a worn leather pouch.

Lost: Belts in Wichita, Kansas

I realized my belts were missing yesterday around 6:15 p.m. after I locked my bike near the Orpheum Theatre in Old Town Wichita. There are two belts: a black leather belt with a brass buckle and a thinner tan belt I wear for dressier outfits. I retraced the brick sidewalks from the riverfront to Market Street, asking a couple shopkeepers, but I didn’t find them. They’re important to me—one has sentimental value and helps me feel put together for interviews. If you spotted them near the Orpheum steps or by the Old Town fountain, please let me know through the site.

Lost: My holiday decorations

Last Friday at 9:15 PM, I realized the box of holiday decorations had vanished from the back of my pickup as I was unloading near the Keeper of the Plains statue in Old Town Wichita. The box held multicolored lights, several garlands, and a small handmade wreath that belonged to my grandmother. Losing them feels personal, like a piece of our family traditions slipping away just weeks before Christmas. I keep picturing someone finding them and smiling at the tinsel and faded velvet ribbon, wishing they’d bring them back to someone who misses them.

Black Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, dented earcup

I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones yesterday around 3pm in Wichita. They're the over-ear wireless cans, matte black, with a soft leather headband and cushy ear pads. The right earcup has a tiny dent, and the black carrying case has a frayed zipper with a red accent. I last had them near the Century II complex on West Douglas Avenue, maybe by the Orpheum Theatre entrance or the river trail behind it. They were a gift from my sister and have helped me power through edits on late gigs, so they mean a lot to me. If you found them, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you!

Black Nike sneakers with neon stripe, size 9

I lost my black Nike sneakers, size 9. I think they're the ones with a neon green stripe along the sides and a white rubber sole. I last wore them yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Douglas Ave in Old Town Wichita, near the riverwalk. One shoe has a small coffee stain on the tongue and a blue scuff on the left toe, and the right lace tip is frayed—they’re my everyday shoes and they’ve got sentimental value, so I’d really love to get them back.
