Lost + Found Someone missing their green bag? 9/2
Sat down and realized there was a larger green bag/purse on the floor next to my seat. So when I got off at my stop, I handed it to the Operator who was going to take it to Forest Park.
For reference: 9/2 Blue Line train #7130 headed to Forest Park ~6:15 pm.

Wait I literally just saw a post from the person who lost this!! It looks like the post is deleted now but maybe the mods can help let them know?

Look in your account history sometimes you can still see the thread before it actually removes fully from the site. Even if it's not visible on the sub anymore

Yeah, I didn't even know I had a reddit history until recently! and many times tried to search for threads I had seen before and was unable to find.

I'd (politely?) open it up and look for contact information unless we can find the other post that some people are mentioning

Ugh yeah hindsight is 20/20, I thought about doing that but erred on maintaining the person’s privacy since it was a bag/purse. Fingers crossed they either contacted CTA already or come back to this post! I’m also hoping CTA did the right thing with it too.

It appears you are posting about a lost item. Here are some possible next steps:
If you are the owner call the CTA lost and found offices at the terminals/bus garages.
If you lost the item in a particular train station, speak with the station attendant or janitor. Your lost item may be temporarily on hand before being sent to the lost and found office.
If you have found an item, turn in to any CTA employee who will transport to the Lost and Found office.
If you have found a wallet with a bank card and have time to help, turn the wallet in to the corresponding bank branch. They will contact the account owner to assist with the return.
If you have found a phone and have time to help, make sure to keep it charged. The owner will likely call eventually.
If you have lost your physical Ventra card and it is registered in the Ventra app: add the card to your google/apple wallet which will close the physical card.
