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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost action figures in Cardiff, UK

Hi, I'm Jamie Evans. I lost my action figures this morning around 7:30 AM outside the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. I had set them down on a bench near Mermaid Quay while I checked my phone, then walked off and realized they weren’t with me. They’re a small collection of vintage sci-fi figures in a blue box—special to me and my nephew. If you found them, I’d be deeply grateful for their return.

Lost pins near Cardiff Central Library

Last Friday around 6:15 p.m., I realized a few pins had vanished from my coat pocket while leaving Cardiff Central Library. The pins are small enamel pieces—two with wildlife motifs and a bright little ship on another—that mattered to me. I must have dropped them somewhere along the library steps or along Westgate Street as I walked toward the pedestrian area. If someone picked them up, I’d really appreciate being reunited with them through this site.

Lost sheet music in Cardiff near station

On Friday around 4:45 pm I was leaving a rehearsal on Queen Street in Cardiff when a gust blew my sheet music out of the binder. The papers skittered toward the gates of Cardiff Castle and disappeared near the arcades by the old market. It is a worn stack of printed pages, the cover torn and a red sticker in the corner, with pencil notes in the margins. I have practiced these pieces for months and I am desperate to recover them.

Silver Seiko 5 watch with blue second hand

I lost my silver Seiko 5 automatic watch yesterday around 3pm near the gates of Cardiff Castle on Castle Street. It has a brushed stainless steel bracelet, a black dial, and a slim blue second hand that really stands out. There's a tiny scratch near the 7 o'clock marker and a small engraving on the back—'A.R.'—which should help spot it. It's my daily watch and it was a gift from my late granddad, so I really need it back if anyone finds it. If you’ve seen it, drop me a message.
