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 Decatur 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 Decatur in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost drone near Decatur Public Library

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I was flying my drone near the Decatur Public Library around 7:15 PM last Friday, and a gust swept it toward the Macon County Courthouse lawn, then it vanished behind a row of oaks by the riverfront. I retraced my steps for an hour, but the drone is gone and I can't shake the image of it slipping away into the dusk. This wasn't just a toy— it was my latest personal project for the town film club, and I’m crushed at its loss. If anyone spotted something metallic glinting near the library or along the riverfront, please let me know through the site.

Lost radios near Lincoln Square, Decatur

I was at Lincoln Square, Decatur, around 5:45 p.m. Friday when I realized my radios were missing from my backpack. They’re two handheld radios in a gray pouch, one with a black case and a bright red strap. I’d left them on a bench outside the Decatur Public Library on North Water Street while I checked a map, and by the time I turned back they were gone. They’re important for work and for keeping in touch during weekend events, and I’ve never wanted them more than now. I’m posting this here in case someone turned them in.

Lost sheet music near Decatur Public Library

I was walking out of the Decatur Public Library on East Main Street at around 5:15 PM on Tuesday when I realized my sheet music for my piano recital was missing from my tote. The binder held two pages of markings, plus a few practice notes I had scribbled in the margins. I have practiced these pieces every day for weeks, and missing them has me stressed about rehearsal tomorrow. If anyone found the sheets, please know they are valuable to me and I would really appreciate their return.

Space Gray iPad Pro 11-inch in black case

I lost my Space Gray iPad Pro 11-inch in a rugged black case with a white unicorn sticker on the back. It happened yesterday around 3pm near Decatur Square, outside the Brick Store Pub and the little cafe on East Court Square. The iPad has a small dent on the top edge and the screen protector is scratched, but the display still works and the files inside are important for class and travel planning. It holds notes and a few family photos, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it near those spots, email [email protected] and we can arrange a meetup.

Silver heart necklace lost near Decatur Square

I lost my silver pendant necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Decatur Square on Ponce de Leon Ave. It's a delicate 18-inch sterling silver chain with a small heart pendant; the back is engraved with 'Mom' and there's a tiny sapphire stone set in the heart. It was a gift from my grandmother and has huge sentimental value, so I'm really hoping to find it. If anyone picked it up, please reach out—I'd be grateful to get it back, and I can describe more identifying details or meet downtown.

Blue concert ticket stub, seat 7A, red VIP stamp

I lost my blue concert ticket stub for the Decatur show last Friday around 3pm. It’s a small rectangular ticket with a blue border, a red VIP stamp in the corner, and a faded barcode at the bottom. The back has a coffee ring stain from a drink spill that day. The seat listed is 7A in Section B, near the stage, and the whole thing reminds me of finally getting tickets for my sister's favorite band—it’s really sentimental to me. I left it near the Decatur Square outside The Brick Store Pub on Church Street and would be grateful if someone found it and turned it in.
