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 Athens 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 Athens in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost leashes near North Campus Arch, Athens, GA.

Yesterday at 7:15 p.m., I was walking my two dogs near the North Campus Arch on Baxter Street when I realized our leashes were missing from my pocket. One leash is teal nylon with a paw print; the other is red leather with a tiny brass paw charm. I retraced our steps toward Five Points and checked the dog park, the sidewalks, and the parking lot, but I came up empty. Those leashes were with us every day and keep my dogs safe while we explore campus, so I'm hoping they turn up soon.

Lost shirts in Athens, GA

I realized I left behind a stack of shirts after a show at The Georgia Theatre on West Clayton Street last Friday around 8:15 PM. I remember stepping out to the sidewalk near the Broad Street intersection while we loaded gear into the van and must have dropped them between the door and the curb. The shirts are a mix of solid colors plus a striped tee, all in my rehearsal size. They’re not just clothes; they’re comfort during long nights, and I’d really appreciate help finding them.

Lost adapters near downtown Athens, GA

Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was leaving the UGA Library and realized my adapters weren't in my bag. They’re a small gray pouch with a blue corner tag, holding a USB-C and a USB-A adapter. I last saw them near The Arch on Baxter Street, a few steps from the library steps I use every day. I felt a jolt of panic—I rely on those adapters for class and late-night study sessions. If someone happened to come across them, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost document holders near UGA Arch

LOST: This morning around 9:15 a.m., I was walking north from the Tate Student Center toward downtown Athens when my document holders slipped from my tote on a breezy stretch near the Arch at UGA. Inside are a stack of deadlines, a few receipts, and a color-coded folder with my name on it. I’ve walked Baxter Street and the square again today, hoping they’ll turn up, but nothing yet. Those papers matter to me for work and school, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw them on the way to campus, please think of returning them to the site.

LOST Gym Clothes near UGA campus.

As a sophomore at the University of Georgia, I left the Tate Student Center after a noon workout around 12:20 p.m. and changed into my street clothes in the locker room. My gym bag with a blue hoodie, gray sweatpants, and white sneakers disappeared from a bench near the entrance. I walked back along North Campus toward the Arch and then down Milledge Avenue toward Broad Street, hoping they’d turned up in a lost-and-found, but no luck. It’s a pain during midterms to be missing basics like this, and if anyone spotted a blue hoodie with a coffee stain and a gray bag in the Tate area, please keep an eye out around the Arch.
