If you’re reading this, you’ve likely left something behind during your commute and are praying to the transit gods that it’s found.

First off, take a deep breath! Our Lost Property office at Stadium–Chinatown Station processes tens of thousands of lost items each year! That means chances are if you’ve lost it, someone may have found it and it will soon be on its way back to you.

Next, fill out an online lost property form so our helpful staff will know what to look for and who to contact when it’s found.

Still on or near transit? A uniformed transit employee like a bus operator, SkyTrain Attendant, Transit Security or Transit Police officer can help. On the SkyTrain? Pick up the red emergency phone on the platform to connect with the SkyTrain Control Centre. You can also call the TransLink Customer Service at 604.953.3333.

Sometimes, lost items are reunited with their owners before they get to our Lost Property office. We know how important items such as wallets and keys are to our customers, so staff make every effort to track down these items right away.

And now you wait.

If that thing you’ve lost is a Compass Card, make sure to contact Compass Customer Service and let them know. If your Compass Card was registered, they can transfer any Stored Value or pass products onto a new Compass Card for you.

Once you receive the call that your lost property has been found, head down to Stadium–Chinatown Station to pick it up. Here are some things you’ll need to know to make getting your lost property back a seamless process.
