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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Travel adapters in Chattanooga, TN

I was winding down at Riverfront Parkway near the Walnut Street Bridge around 8:15 PM on May 18, 2025 when I realized my travel adapters were missing. The compact case held universal adapters that fit grids across Europe and Asia, plus a tiny USB hub I rely on for work trips. I retraced the path from the UTC campus to the riverfront and along the bike lanes, but the adapters didn't turn up. Without them I'm scrambling for chargers on the road, and I hope a honest passerby picked them up and saved my trip.

Lost stamps by Walnut Street Bridge, Chattanooga

I lost a batch of stamps this evening in Chattanooga. Around 6:50 pm yesterday I was leaving Riverfront Park by the Walnut Street Bridge when I realized the stamps were missing from my tote. They are a small collection in a white envelope with a red rubber band, with a few vintage issues and a colorful commemorative or two. They’re not valuable money-wise, but they mean a lot to my mail art project and to a handful of family memories. I retraced my steps along Market Street and checked the benches by the river, the bus stops near the aquarium, and the shop by the convention center, but nothing turned up. If found, I’d be grateful to have them returned through the site.

LOST: CDs in Chattanooga

Status: LOST. I lost my CDs around 5:45 PM today near the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, close to Coolidge Park. They’re a mixed bag of rock and indie tunes, with a few worn cases and one sleeve banded with a red sticker. I remember sitting on a bench near the river and flipping through the liner notes as the light faded. If found, please drop a note on the site so we can reunite them with me.

Red Pearl snare drum with green sticker – lost yesterday

I lost my red Pearl Export snare drum yesterday around 3pm downtown Chattanooga. It’s a 14x5.5 inch shell with a red pearl finish, chrome hardware, and a small dent on the rim from a gig last month. There’s a green sticker inside the shell with the initials 'R.T.' and a couple of light scratches along the edge from road cases. I last had it outside the Chattanooga Choo Choo on Market Street near the crosswalk by the convention center. It’s really meaningful to me because I’ve played with it for years; if anyone found it, please text me and we can meet up to pick it up.

Gold-tone hoops with emerald drop, engraved AS

I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with a tiny emerald drop yesterday around 3pm. I was walking along Market Street by the Tennessee Aquarium and I think I dropped them while heading toward the Walnut Street Bridge; they could have fallen on the riverfront near Coolidge Park. They're small, about 1 cm hoops, gold-tone plated, with a delicate emerald charm on one hoop. The back of one earring has a tiny engraving 'AS' and the clasp shows a faint scratch. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they're really sentimental to me and I'd be grateful to get them back if anyone finds them around Chattanooga.

Tan Michael Kors tote with MK charm

I lost my tan Michael Kors tote yesterday around 3pm near the Walnut Street Bridge by Riverfront Park on Market Street in downtown Chattanooga. It's a tan pebbled leather tote, about 12 inches wide, with a gold MK charm on the zipper and a burgundy lining that peeks out when I open it. Inside there are a few old family photos and a small leather tag with my initials, 'P.P.'; the bag is in good condition except for a coffee stain on the bottom corner. This bag really has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.
