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 holiday decorations in Chattanooga.

I was unloading a few boxes of holiday decorations from my trunk around 6:15 p.m. last Friday, near the Chattanooga Choo Choo on Market Street, when I noticed several pieces were gone. The haul includes a string of warm-white lights, a hand-painted wooden star, and a red velvet bow. These items are from a family project and hold memories of holidays past; losing them feels like losing a piece of home. I hope someone who picked them up will bring them back to the area.

Lost my Student ID in downtown Chattanooga

I was rushing to catch the 8:15 bus this morning and realized my Student ID wasn’t in my pocket. I retraced steps from the downtown library toward the UTC campus, mainly along Broad Street by the Tivoli Theatre. It’s a slim gray plastic card with my name, a small photo, and the campus logo—easy to spot if you know me. I feel anxious because that ID unlocks campus services and meals, and replacements aren’t cheap. I posted here hoping someone who found it will drop it off at the site so I can pick it up and keep moving.

Lost 'Wild and Domestic' in Chattanooga

On Friday around 6:20 pm I realized my copy of Wild and Domestic was missing. I was by the Walnut Street Bridge in downtown Chattanooga, after the sunset washed the river in orange. I had tucked the book into the front pocket of my jacket, but it slipped out as I paused to photograph a mural near the bridge. I retraced along Riverfront Parkway, calling out and checking benches and the grassy knoll where I sat for a moment. The pages are dog-eared and some margins contain quick sketches and notes that matter to me more than anything. It’s irreplaceable, and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can get it back.

Lost GPS devices near Broad Street museum entrance

I was out this afternoon in Chattanooga and realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack. I stopped near the entrance of the Creative Discovery Museum on Broad Street around 3:12 PM, hoping they’d still be in my bag. They’re small black devices with rugged cases, and losing them rattles me because they map routes I trust for work and personal trips. I’m hoping someone found them and left them somewhere safe; I just want to pick up where I left off, with a clear map and a calmer mind.
