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 Passports near Court Street, Athens

Hi, I’m Grace Bennett, and I’ve just realized a passport is missing. I was walking along Court Street near Ohio University campus, outside Court Street Coffee, around 9:25 PM last Tuesday, and I must have dropped it from my bag. Losing it feels like losing a key to my upcoming trip, and I’m anxious about identity issues and the hassle of replacing it. I’ve retraced the short route, checked with the café, and asked around, but there’s been no sign yet.

LOST Airline in Athens, Ohio

Last Friday, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my Airline was missing from my backpack after I stopped for a quick chat on Court Street, near the Athens Public Library. It's a small tan envelope with a simple 'Airline' label on the front, the kind I kept to remind me of travel plans. The loss stings because the paper inside holds the boarding pass and itinerary for a trip I was meant to take next week. I'm hoping someone picked it up on the benches by College Green and turned it in at the library desk or a campus service desk nearby.

Lost power tools near Court Street, Athens, OH.

On Friday night around 9:45 p.m. I realized my power tools were missing after I finished a quick repair at Donkey Coffee on Court Street. They were sitting in a black tool bag behind Baker Center while I took a call, and when I turned back they were gone. I’m anxious about the delay this causes my apartment projects and the extra costs to replace them. I’m posting here hoping the finder might have turned them in or seen them nearby, and that the owner will see this soon.

Lost pins near Court Street Market, Athens

On Monday around 2:30 p.m., I realized I’d dropped my enamel pins from my jacket while I was sorting receipts near Court Street Market in downtown Athens. The pins include a tiny turtle, a compass, and a university badge—gifts from family and friends. I retraced my steps along Court Street, past Donkey Coffee, but the crowd and a stray gust made them vanish. Losing them feels like missing a small piece of my daily story.

Lost remote controls near Court Street, Athens.

I was rushing back to my dorm after a late study session outside the Baker Center on Court Street around 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday when I realized my two remote controls weren't in my bag. One is a black remote with a red power button; the other is a slim silver one for the TV and soundbar. They might seem small, but losing them makes it hard to relax after classes. I use them daily, especially during OU game nights. If you found them, please leave a note through the site so we can arrange a pickup. I'm hoping they turn up soon.

lost travel adapters near Court Street, Athens campus

I was packing for a weekend trip when I realized my travel adapters were lost. I last used them Friday night, around 9:15 p.m., at the Baker Center coffee bar on Court Street while studying for finals. They’re small, black, and essential for charging my laptop and phone on the road, especially with travel plans this week. I’m hopeful someone found them and tucked them into a safe place, because lugging a spare charger across three buses would be a mess. If you remember seeing a compact pair of adapters, please keep them safe until I can reclaim them.
