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 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.

Lost: Toasters in Athens, OH.

Last night around 11:15 p.m., I came back to my apartment on Court Street, just a short walk from the Ohio University campus, and found my two toasters missing from the kitchen counter. This morning, around 6:45, they were still gone. I walked the few blocks toward College Green and checked with neighbors, but nothing turned up. They’re not just appliances to me—they were gifts from my grandmother, and I’d love to have them back.

Navy North Face parka with detachable fur hood

I lost my navy North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Acropolis Museum along Dionysiou Areopagitou. It's a size M, waterproof, with a detachable faux-fur hood and a teal inner lining that peeks out when the zipper is halfway down. There's a small tear at the left cuff and a zip pocket that holds a faded photo of my grandmother. This coat has sentimental value and I really need it back—it's my go-to during chilly evenings in Athens.

Small brass compass with initials engraved

I lost this small brass compass with my initials engraved on the back. I was wandering yesterday around 3pm and must've slipped it near Monastiraki Square, along Ermou Street and the old market stalls here in Athens. It's about the size of a matchbox, brass with a tiny crack on the rim, and the initials 'NK' are engraved on the back. It sits in a faded brown leather pouch with a stitched seam that’s starting to fray. It’s sentimental—my grandfather gave it to me on a trip years ago—and I’d really love to get it back. If anyone finds it, email me at [email protected].
