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 Charleston 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 Charleston in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Travel Adapters in Charleston, West Virginia.

Last Friday around 6:15 PM, I lost my Travel Adapters from the hotel desk in downtown Charleston, near Capitol Market. I was packing for a conference and those compact adapters are essential for keeping my devices powered while I travel. The black zip pouch with two adapters disappeared from the hotel room, and I haven't found it despite checking the desk and bedside table. I’m stressed about needing them for work next week, and I’m hoping they turn up somewhere safe.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Charleston near Capitol Market.

On Sunday around 4:25 p.m., I realized I had lost my Equipment for Various Sports somewhere near Capitol Market in Charleston. It is a black duffel bag with a white team logo and a dusty old water bottle poking out. Inside are my basketball shoes, shin guards, and a handful of practice cones—things I have lugged to every pick-up game for months. I replay the moment I set it down by the bus stop near Capitol Market, hoping it was not picked up by someone who does not know how much it means to me. If someone happened to stumble upon it, I would be incredibly grateful to have it back.

LOST: Travel Visas in Charleston, WV

Friday afternoon around 3:15 PM, I realized my Travel Visas were missing from my tan tote while I stopped for a quick coffee near Capitol Market in Charleston. My heart jumped—I'm leaving town in two days and those documents are essential. The folder was plain, with a red elastic band and a few loose pages peeking out from the sides. I retraced my steps along Capitol Street toward the Charleston Town Center, but I haven't seen it since.

Lost radios in Charleston, WV

Last Saturday at around 2:15 pm, I realized my radios were missing from the back seat of my car parked near the Charleston Town Center mall. I retraced my steps along Capitol Street, past the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, and back toward the riverfront, but the radios were gone. The set is a gray handheld model with a blue nylon case and a small dent in one antenna; they are important for our community radio club's weekend broadcast. I am worried because one unit contains essential programming and schedules, and I hope whoever finds them knows they belong to someone who uses them to connect with our neighborhood.

lost DVDs near Capitol Market, Charleston

I spent a sunny afternoon at Capitol Market in Charleston and set aside a tote of DVDs for a movie night. By 4:00 p.m. on Friday I realized the tote slipped from my shoulder, likely somewhere between the farmer stalls and the steps to the parking garage. I’ve gone back twice, looking under benches and behind stalls, but nothing turned up. The discs include a mix of classic Westerns and a couple of indie documentaries, and they’re sentimental to me. If you found them, please keep them safe until I can retrieve them.

LOST: Driver's license in Charleston

I was at the Town Center Mall entrance around 2:15 pm today when I realized my driver's license had slipped from my wallet. It’s a standard plastic card with my photo and basic information, and I must have dropped it while I was moving between stores. I’m anxious about upcoming appointments and travel, and I hope someone who found it kept it safe or turned it in somewhere nearby.
