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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost violins near Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta

I was finishing a street performance at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday near Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta when I realized my two violins were missing from their case on the bench. The weather was mild, with a soft breeze and a few onlookers clapping as I packed up. These violins matter to me beyond their value; they carry years of practice and memories from every recital. If you saw a violin case or someone carrying two violins around that area, please get in touch—I'm holding out hope they were misplaced rather than stolen.

Volleyball blanket; lost in or near GWCC but years ago. Still hoping it's out there somewhere as I received this over 25 years ago and it's been with me through a lot!

Lost utensils near Ponce City Market, Atlanta

I was prepping dinner in the Old Fourth Ward and left a small set of utensils on a tray at the corner near Ponce City Market around 7:15 PM yesterday. A gust of wind swept them toward the BeltLine entrance and I didn't notice until I reached for a whisk that wasn't there. The set includes a wooden spoon with a blue handle, a metal spatula, and a tiny tongs—nothing flashy, but they feel like cooking companions. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I’ve used them through countless meals. If you’ve seen them, please keep them safe until I can bring them back to my kitchen.

Lost hand tools near Ponce City Market, Atlanta

I was wrapping up a quick repair at around 6:45 PM on Saturday when I realized my hand tools were missing. I think I left a dusty green tool bag on a wooden bench near Ponce City Market, just off the BeltLine's Eastside Trail. Inside are screwdrivers, pliers, a claw hammer, and a tape measure—the things I use for weekend fixes around the house. My heart sank because these tools are practical and a few belonged to my father; they carry memories. I retraced my steps along the BeltLine and checked the Market's entrances, nearby parking lots, and the crosswalks, but nothing turned up. If you happened to see a green tool bag on Saturday evening, please keep an eye out for it.

Lost suits near Centennial Olympic Park, Midtown

I’m Avery Kimball. I lost my suits in Atlanta, Georgia around 6:15 PM last Friday after I dashed to catch a bus near Centennial Olympic Park in Midtown. The set includes a navy blazer, charcoal trousers, and a light gray suit in a black garment bag with a red lining. I’ve worn these to crucial client meetings and interviews, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my routine. If someone turned them in, I’d be endlessly grateful to get them back.

lost: travel adapters in Atlanta

Hi, I'm Mia Johnson. I lost my travel adapters in Atlanta today. At around 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized they were missing after I left a cafe on Peachtree Street, just across from the Fox Theatre. I had been using the outlet near the counter and must have left them on the table when I stood to grab my jacket. The adapters are compact, black, with a blue tag and three USB ports. They’re essential for my trip next week, and I’ve been juggling multiple devices all day. I’m really hoping someone picked them up. If found, please leave them at the information desk by Centennial Olympic Park.
