I left a smart phone on the 4:09 from New York, realized it as soon as the train doors closed.
Five minutes later, I got a call at home on our landline from a conductor who found the phone and called by pressing the "Home" icon the screen.
I picked up the phone at Customer Service in Penn Station the next morning.
Left two suit jackets several years ago, never got them back. Left a bike helmet, never got it back, left a much newer bike helmet tonight with my name and phone number, and I don't have high hopes. I believe that conductors and maintenance crews mostly throw things out unless valuable and not traceable, like a watch, jewelry or fancy pen, in which case they keep it. If traceable like a cell phone, it is returned to lost and found.
My daughter left a fully stuffed (cash & cards) wallet a Westbound train when she got off at Maplewood. We let the station agent know. He reached out to someone, and her wallet came back on the next Eastbound train. NJT employees will do what they can to help you find your important stuff. Even the gruff ones are good people.

Then why does the lost and found have dozens, if not hundreds, of items in it, valuable and not?
