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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost handheld and console in Cambridge

I was leaving Grand Arcade at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my handheld game console was missing from my bag. The device has a blue silicone case and a white sticker with my initials. I retraced my steps along Market Street, checked the benches by the bus stop, and asked at the café, but it wasn’t there. I feel frustrated and anxious about losing access to important files and saved progress, and I just hope someone turns it in or I see it again.

Lost chokers in Cambridge near The Eagle

I was walking along Bene't Street toward King's Parade at about 2:14 pm on Tuesday when I realized my chokers had vanished. They’re a set of three black velvet chokers with a tiny silver ring clasp, a gift from my grandmother. Losing them feels personal, like a piece of home slipped away while I was out studying in Cambridge. If you’ve seen them, please check this listing and help me bring them back to their owner.

Lost airline ticket in Cambridge

I lost my airline ticket yesterday afternoon while rushing through Cambridge. Around 3:20 p.m., after I hopped off a train at Cambridge Station, I realized it wasn't in my pocket as I walked past King's Parade toward the Grand Arcade. I must have dropped it somewhere along the River Cam path near the Bridge of Sighs by St John's College. The thought of missing my flight is weighing on me, and I keep replaying the moment I noticed it was gone. If it turns up, I’ll be incredibly grateful to the finder through the site.

LOST Utensils in Cambridge near Cambridge Station

Last Friday at 7:22 p.m., I was walking along King's Parade toward Cambridge Market Square and set my Utensils on a bench outside the Cambridge Market. When I looked back, the pouch had vanished. The case is a charcoal-grey roll with a silver zipper and a small dent on the corner. I rely on these utensils for meals between lectures and late-night study sessions, and losing them has me anxious about cooking tonight. If anyone saw them or remembers picking them up, please let me know where they were left—I’m hoping they’re simply tucked somewhere safe nearby.

Lost radios in Cambridge city center

I was heading to a late-night gig with a friend around 11:45 PM and think I left my radios on the number 2 bus from Castle Street, somewhere near King's Parade outside Trinity College. The two radios are compact, with black casings and a red power button; one has a small dent on the corner. I rely on them for rehearsals and gigs around Cambridge, so losing them has really set me back. I would be incredibly grateful to have them returned.
