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 Danville 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 Danville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost handheld and console in Danville downtown.

Last Friday at 7:22 PM, I was wandering along Main Street in Danville, near the Riverwalk by the Dan River, when I realized my handheld and console were missing from my backpack. I had sat on a bench outside a coffee shop for a moment, then a gust and a crowd pulled my attention away. The handheld is black with a blue grip; the console is a compact unit with a small dent in the corner. I use it to unwind after late shifts, and losing it hit hard. If someone found it, I hope it finds its way back to its owner.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Danville

I was finishing up a run at Ballou Park in Danville last Tuesday around 6:10 p.m. when I realized my equipment for various sports had vanished from the bench by the basketball courts. It was a mixed lot—shin guards, a pair of well-worn sneakers, a rolled-up yoga mat, and a few other odds and ends I rely on for workouts. I retraced my steps along the path and checked with other runners, hoping someone had simply picked it up for me, but nothing turned up. This equipment means a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have it back before the next practice.

Lost dolls in Danville, Virginia, near Dan Daniel Memorial Park

I lost my dolls while walking home from a friend's house yesterday at around 5:40 PM. I had tucked them in a pink tote as I headed down Main Street toward Dan Daniel Memorial Park. By the time I reached the riverfront, the tote was lighter, and I realized the dolls were missing—two small porcelain dolls with chipped cheeks and frilly dresses. They were gifts from my grandmother and hold a lot of memory for my little sister, who starts third grade tomorrow and already misses them. If you found them, please drop a note on the site; I’ll be checking as soon as I can.

LOST Flutes in Danville near Riverwalk Park

Last Saturday at 6:15 p.m., I was finishing a quick practice near Riverwalk Park in Danville when I realized my Flutes weren't in the case anymore. I had set the black hard-shell case on a bench by the Riverwalk Trail and walked a few steps away to stretch, and when I turned back the case and the two flutes were gone. The case has a scratch along the edge and a blue strap; the flutes themselves gleam silver in the setting sun. These Flutes are irreplaceable to me and I'm playing a recital next week, which makes this feel urgent and upsetting. If anyone found them around Riverwalk Park, please tell me where they were left.

Lost postcards near Main Street, Danville

Wednesday around 4:15 p.m., I was sitting on a bench along Main Street in Danville, sorting through a stack of postcards. A quick passerby bumped the bench and I must have left the pile on the seat or dropped it into my tote. The postcards are sentimental: photos from family trips, one showing a lighthouse, another a quiet street from a summer long ago. They’re irreplaceable to me, tied to memories I want to hold onto. If someone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back so I can finish the story they tell.

Lost holiday decorations on Main Street, Danville.

I lost my holiday decorations last night in Danville. Around 9:15 p.m. on Friday, I had just unloaded the car and set a red tote near the entrance to Danville Museum of Fine Arts on Main Street. The tote held string lights, a garland, and a few sentimental ornaments. These decorations are special to my family, and I’m really hoping they turn up since they help bring back memories of Christmas gatherings with my grandmother. If anyone found the tote or its contents, I’d be grateful if they could help me recover them near the museum.
