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 document holders near Cardiff Central Library

I was rushing to finish a meeting at Cardiff Central Library yesterday, around 4:15 pm, when I think I left my document holders on a chair in the quiet reading area by the reference desk. They’re a slim black leather pair with my initials GE embossed on the front. Inside are a few work notes and some travel documents I need for tomorrow. I’ve checked the cafe and the lobby, but I can’t shake the feeling they’re somewhere in the library. Losing them has me stressed—it’s more than papers, it’s about keeping track of important details for a big presentation next week.

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.
