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: Work Cases in Derby

I lost my Work Cases around 6:15 pm on Tuesday after leaving the Derby Cathedral. They are two black leather cases, one a touch scuffed, with a red zip tag that reads J. Cooper. I had paused briefly near the Market Place steps to check notes for a client call, then turned around and they were gone. Inside are important documents and a laptop charger, plus the usual papers from the last project. I'm feeling anxious about the privacy of the contents and my schedule, and I'm hoping someone has seen them nearby and can return them.

Lost Paintings

Grace Turner here. Last Friday around 6:15 p.m., I was walking through the Cathedral Quarter in Derby, Derby, United Kingdom, when I realized my two paintings were missing from my tote. They’re both medium-sized, framed in black, with simple landscapes—one sunlit field, one along a river. I’d left them to dry in a small studio near Friar Gate and must have misplaced them during the walk home to Market Place. They’re important to me, and I’d be grateful if anyone who finds them could get them back to me, please.

Lost saxophones near Derby Cathedral, Derby

I lost my saxophones last night after a late rehearsal. It was about 9:15 p.m. and I left them by the steps of Derby Cathedral on Wardwick while I chatted with a fellow musician outside the Derby Assembly Rooms. When I turned back, they were gone and the evening air felt heavy. Those saxophones are my livelihood and my voice, and I hope someone who was in that corner of the city remembers anything about two cases left behind.

LOST: Belts in Derby

Hi, I’m Grace Bennett. I lost a handful of leather belts after a vintage market in Derby city centre around 4:45 p.m. last Sunday. I had them on a bench near Derby Cathedral in the Market Place while I browsed stalls, and when I looked back they were gone. The belts include a black leather belt with a brass buckle, a brown belt with a simple buckle, and a couple of fabric belts with bright patterns. They’re daily favourites, and losing them feels like misplacing a memory; please keep an eye out if you see a small tote or a bunch of belts near the cathedral steps.

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.
