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 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.

Red concert ticket to St David's Hall

Hey there, I lost my red and white concert ticket to a sold-out gig at St David's Hall in Cardiff yesterday around 3pm. It's a standard A6 paper ticket with a red border and a small holographic sticker in the corner; the barcode at the bottom is a little creased from being folded in my wallet. I bought it as a birthday surprise, so it's got sentimental value and I really need it back. I last had it on Queen Street near The Hayes, outside the Cardiff Central Library, then I must have dropped it while hurrying to catch a bus. If you found it, please let me know—I'll be forever grateful.

Grey North Face fleece jacket, orange zipper

I lost my grey North Face fleece jacket yesterday around 3pm outside the Cardiff Central Station bus stop on St Marys Street. It's a men's medium, a bit worn but still warm, with a bright orange zipper pull and a tiny coffee stain on the left cuff. There's a small embroidered panda on the inside tag that I can recognize, and the lining has a subtle navy pattern. It was a gift from my sister and means a lot to me; I've been worried I won't get it back. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I'd really appreciate it being returned.

Red portable audio mixer with USB-C

I lost my red Behringer portable audio mixer yesterday around 3pm near Cardiff Central Library on Westgate Street. It's a compact six-channel mixer that uses USB-C for laptop hookup and fits in a black neoprene sleeve. It has a couple of distinguishing marks: a small dent on the top-right corner, a white sticker with a guitar silhouette on the back panel, and a tiny blue dot sticker near the input jacks. This mixer is central to my podcast setup and really means a lot to me, so I would really appreciate getting it back for an upcoming recording session. If anyone finds it, please drop me a line.
