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 Derby 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 Derby in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost pins near Derby Cathedral

Hello, I’m Grace Thompson. I was in Derby Market Place at about 2:30 PM this Saturday, just steps from Derby Cathedral, looking for a birthday gift. My lapel pin collection slipped from my blue coat pocket and disappeared into the crowd as I browsed a row of stalls. There are five enamel pins, each with a tiny animal design—they’re not valuable, but they carry memories from friends and trips. I only realised they were missing after I’d walked a bit and rounded a corner. If anyone found them, please consider handing them in at the market desk or with the stall I was visiting; I’d be incredibly grateful.

Lost driver's license in Derby, Derby

On Sunday at about 7:15 p.m., I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet after a stroll from Sadler Gate toward the Market Place in Derby, Derby. I had been finishing up a shift at a nearby bakery and stopped for a quick drink by the Cathedral, and I must have left it on a table or dropped it at the bus stop by the River Derwent. The license is the standard UK photocard with a blue cover and a small crease on the corner. I rely on it for travel and work, and losing it has left me feeling exposed and anxious. If anyone found it near Derby Cathedral or the Market Place, please return it through the site; I’ll be checking the site from the Market Place each evening in hope.

Red Nike running shoes, size 9, frayed laces

I lost my red Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm near the Derby Market Hall on St Peter's Street. They’re size 9, red with a black Swoosh, white midsoles, and the left shoe has a tiny toe scuff plus a blue lace I swapped in last month. The heel has a small reflective tab that’s starting to rub off. These shoes were my go-to for training for a 10k and they fit perfectly and felt dependable; losing them was a real setback. If anyone found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back; I can describe more details or meet up near that area to collect them.

Grey Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 tablet with blue case

I lost my grey Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 tablet yesterday around 3pm. It's in a blue protective case with a small white sticker on the back that reads 'AZ'. The tablet is 11 inches, with a faint scratch along the top edge and a chipped bottom-left corner. I last had it outside Costa Coffee on Market Place near Derby Cathedral as I was heading back toward Friar Gate. It holds family photos and a few work files, so it really feels irreplaceable to me; I'd be so grateful to get it back.

Missing person: Aarav Singh, 29

I lost my cousin Aarav Singh yesterday around 3pm near the Market Hall on East Street in Derby. He was wearing a navy parka, gray hoodie, black jeans, and bright blue sneakers. He has a small tattoo on the inside of his left wrist that reads 'hope' and a silver hoop earring, with a faint scar above his left eyebrow. Last seen heading toward the Derby Cathedral area after leaving a meetup near Market Hall, and his phone is off. If anyone spots him, please get in touch; any information would mean the world to us.

Gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl charms

I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with tiny pearl charms yesterday around 3pm near Derby Cathedral on Iron Gate, just outside the Market Hall. They're 1.5 cm hoops, gold-tone with two petite freshwater pearls hanging from each hoop. The left earring has a small scratch on the metal and a faint heart engraving on the back that you can only see up close. They were a gift from my mum, so they mean a lot to me emotionally. If anyone found them, please reach out—I can describe them in more detail and work something out to get them back.
