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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Ties in Charlotte

I realized my ties were missing at 3:30 p.m. last Sunday, after I ducked into a coffee shop on Tryon Street and headed toward the Bank of America Stadium area in uptown Charlotte. They’re a simple navy with a subtle diagonal stripe, not fancy, but they’re my go-to for interviews and important events. I’m a bit rattled, walking past Trade Street and near Romare Bearden Park as crowds swell, hoping someone turned them in at a cafe or a passing store. I’d be relieved to have them back; if you found them, I hope you can bring them to the site so I can pick them up.

Lost shopping bags near Freedom Park, Charlotte.

I was walking back from a quick errand near Freedom Park's east entrance in Uptown Charlotte around 5:50 p.m. on Sunday when I realized my shopping bags were missing from my tote. They held a few reusable bags, a water bottle, and a small notebook with notes from last weekend's farmer's market. Losing them feels petty but inconvenient, since the bags carry groceries and a handful of keepsakes from special trips. If you found them, please keep them safe—I just want them back so I can get back to my routine.

LOST: violins from my case in Charlotte

Yesterday, at about 5:15 p.m., I last saw my two violins in a black case with a red strap, left on a bench outside the Knight Theater on Tryon Street in Uptown Charlotte. I retraced the area and spoke with theater staff, but no one had seen them since I stepped away for a quick warm-up. Losing them feels like losing a part of my own voice, especially after weeks of rehearsals for our community concert. I’m hoping someone nearby might have picked them up and will return them to the lost-and-found.

Lost Canines in Charlotte, NC

Last night around 6:52 p.m., I was walking my two dogs along the Freedom Park loop in Charlotte when the slip happened. They bolted toward the Little Sugar Creek Greenway after a squirrel, and I couldn't catch them, my heart sinking with every bark. My mind kept racing—they're microchipped and friendly, but I worry they'll wander farther if I'm not quick. I've searched the park area around the pond and the bridge and posted this note, praying a kind passerby will recognize them and reunite us through the site.

Lost drapes from my Charlotte apartment near Freedom Park

Friday at 7:12 p.m., I was in my first-floor Charlotte apartment on East Boulevard, just steps from Freedom Park, when I pulled the living room drapes closed to catch the sunset. I dashed out for a quick errand and came back to find them missing from their rod; the room felt suddenly exposed and bright. They're simple beige blackout panels, about 84 inches long, nothing fancy, but they help me sleep and keep the glare down during Carolina summers. If you saw them around the building or near Freedom Park, please keep them safe until I can fetch them.
