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 Youngstown 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 Youngstown in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music near downtown Youngstown

I lost my sheet music after a late practice at the Youngstown Music Academy on Wick Avenue, around 8:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I must have tucked the blue binder into my messenger bag and forgotten it on the bench by the front door; I retraced my steps through the hall and even checked the Youngstown Public Library lobby, but it vanished. The binder has a worn royal-blue cover with pencil annotations and a pink bookmark ribbon. Inside are etudes from Chopin and a few Gershwin arrangements I was practicing for a recital. Those pages hold tempo marks I rely on, and I’m anxious about losing them. If anyone finds it, please keep an eye out around downtown Youngstown.

Lost holiday decorations near Covelli Centre

I’m Laura Jenkins. I last had my holiday decorations on the small table by my front door after I got home from work at 7:40 p.m. last Friday. The set includes two string lights, one red plaid ribbon, and a small gold star topper, all tucked in a green tote. They’re for our annual porch display and they carry memories of my grandmother. I checked the porch, then walked along Wick Avenue toward the Covelli Centre, hoping to spot them along the way, but they were gone. I feel a mix of disappointment and worry, like I let the season slip away. If someone found them, I’d be grateful for their return.

Matte-black rectangular glasses with PK initials

I lost my matte-black Ray-Ban-style rectangular glasses yesterday around 3pm. I was leaving the Youngstown Public Library on Wick Avenue after a quick study break, stepping toward Market Street when they slipped from my pocket or fell, I’m not sure. They’re prescription lenses, medium width, with a tiny scratch on the bottom-right lens. The left temple is engraved with my initials 'PK', which I hope will help you tell them apart. They came in a black zip case with a red lining—if you found the case too, please let me know. They mean a lot to me; they were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back.

Small abstract painting on canvas

I lost my small abstract painting on canvas yesterday afternoon near the Butler Institute of American Art on Wick Avenue in Youngstown. It's a 12x16 inch piece, mostly blue and teal with a copper accent, framed in a slim matte black frame. The signature in the lower right corner reads 'L. Park 2019' and there's a tiny dent along the bottom edge where the frame shows wear. It's important to me; this one was a gift from my grandmother and brightens my living room every day. If anyone happened to find it, please get in touch; I would really appreciate getting it back and will offer a small reward.

Black iPhone 12 Pro with blue panda sticker

I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 6pm near the Starbucks on Market Street, downtown Youngstown, close to Covelli Centre. It's in a blue OtterBox case with a tiny panda sticker on the back, and the screen has a noticeable crack along the bottom left corner. It has a lot of work notes and client contacts, so I'm really hoping to get it back soon. If you found it, drop me a line here and we can arrange a meetup near Covelli Centre or the Starbucks—thanks so much.

Brown leather Fossil wallet with ID window

I lost my brown Fossil leather wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Wick Avenue by Youngstown State University. It's a compact bifold wallet, about 4 inches wide, with a small scuff on the back and a snag in the inner coin pocket zipper. Inside are my driver's license, three cards, and about $60 in cash. It has a coffee stain on the back and a tiny scratch on the front; it’s a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.
