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 Eastern Kentucky 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 Eastern Kentucky in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost avians near Pine Mountain, Eastern Kentucky

Hi, I’m Hannah Lee, and I’m missing two avians after an evening yard check. I had them at Natural Bridge State Resort Park near Slade, Kentucky, around 7:45 p.m. last Thursday when I closed their aviary and the birds darted toward the pines. They’re small canaries with bright yellow feathers and playful chirps; I’m worried they’ve found a new perch somewhere along the park trails. If you’ve seen two birds or heard a chorus in the woods, please help by posting here so I can come collect them through the site.

Lost sheet music in Hazard, Kentucky.

Yesterday at 6:45 p.m., I was in Hazard's Main Street Café on Main Street, practicing with our community band when I realized my sheet music was gone from the chair. The folder is black with a blue cover and a coffee ring on the corner, and it holds pieces we've played only a handful of times. There's also a small margin note my grandmother wrote decades ago, a reminder of home as I work through the pages. Losing it felt like losing a thread to family and plans for the concert, and I’m hoping the person who found it will recognize the handwriting and return it.

Navy blue knit scarf with brass pin

I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm on Hazard's Main Street, near the old courthouse and the coffee shop by the bus stop. It's a medium-length scarf, soft acrylic, with a small brass compass pendant pinned near the corner and a tiny green snag along the left edge. The scarf has some pilling from daily wear and was a gift from my grandmother, so it feels sentimental and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out — I’d be grateful and can meet up in Hazard to pick it up.

Gold-tone hoop earrings with emerald bead

I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm near Hazard's public library on Main Street in Hazard, KY. They're about 1 inch hoops, with a tiny emerald-green bead dangling from the bottom of one hoop, and the other hoop has a small engraving inside that reads 'A.P.' They're from a local shop and mean a lot to me—they were a gift from my mom, who passed away last year. If anyone found them, please drop me a note here or contact me at [email protected]; I would really appreciate getting them back.

Black Samsonite suitcase with red tag and blue bandana

I lost my black Samsonite suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Lexington Road in London, KY. It's a medium-sized hard-shell bag with a few scratches on the front and a bright red luggage tag dangling from the handle. A blue bandana is tied to the zipper pulls, and one wheel is a bit wobbly from a curb bump. Inside are a few clothes, a gray hoodie, and a small travel journal with a green cover. This bag has sentimental value - it was a gift from my grandmother, and I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please text or email me at [email protected].

Pearl 5-piece drum set, white fade finish

I was practicing yesterday around 3pm and realized my Pearl Export Series 5-piece drum set is missing from the rehearsal room behind the Pikeville Music & Arts Center on Hambley Boulevard. The kit is a white fade finish with black hardware, includes a 22-inch bass drum, 12-inch rack tom, 13-inch rack tom, 16-inch floor tom, and a 14-inch snare. It has a small dent on the bass hoop and a 'Northern Echo' sticker on the bass head. This drum set means a lot to me; if you found it, please get in touch.
