Anteater Express turns over all lost and found items to the UCI Police Department the following morning after the item has been turned in. While we understand the frustration of misplacing an item, Anteater Express drivers are not permitted to call other drivers or staff to locate lost and found items.

Return to the route/bus you were on and ask the driver if anything has been turned-in. If not, quickly search the area where you were sitting to look for the item. For routes with multiple buses, if you are unsure of the vehicle number you were on, stay at the stop at which you disembarked and check each bus assigned to that route.
