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 NC 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 NC in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost travel adapters near Atlantic Beach boardwalk

Hi, I’m Grace Whitaker. I lost my travel adapters sometime around 8:15 p.m. on Saturday near the Atlantic Beach boardwalk and the lifeguard stand. I’d just finished a quick weekend trip to Emerald Isle and must have left them on a wooden bench by the pier area. They’re a compact black set with two USB ports and a white sticker that says Travel. I’m really hoping to get them back, since I rely on one charger to stay powered up for maps and photos while I’m on the road.

Lost coins in Eastern NC

During a sunset stroll along Atlantic Beach's boardwalk at about 7:15 p.m. last Friday, I realized my coin pouch with a handful of old quarters and a commemorative coin from a family trip was missing. I retraced the boardwalk and the shops along the pier, but I didn’t find it. Those coins carry memories for me, and I’d be grateful if someone who picked them up could return them so the memories stay intact.

Lost microwaves near Walmart on Greenville Blvd

I was at the Walmart on Greenville Boulevard last Tuesday around 6:20 pm when I realized my two microwaves weren’t in my cart. I must have set them atop the cart rack while grabbing groceries, and they disappeared as I moved through the checkout line. They’re standard white microwaves, both in good condition, one with a small dent on the door. They’re essential for family dinners, and I’m hoping someone honest found them and brought them here. If you’ve seen them, please check this listing so I can reclaim them through the site.

Lost sheet music in Greenville, Eastern NC.

I was at the Green Lantern Café on Dickinson Ave in Greenville, Eastern NC, last Monday around 6:45 PM, playing a set and flipping through my sheet music between tunes. I left a weathered binder with a green cover on the chair when I stepped outside for a breath of air, and when I came back it was gone. The binder held the pieces I’d been rehearsing for a recital next month and a few pages with chord changes I scribbled in the margins. I’m desperate to find it; that music belongs to me, and the evening felt incomplete without it. If anyone saw a green-covered binder near the Evans Street corner or the Dickinson Ave strip, please let me know.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Eastern NC

I was bringing in the last strand of red-and-gold holiday lights at 7:15 PM on December 3, 2025. A gust knocked the boxes from my hands and they spilled across the curb near the Oakridge Townhomes on Pine Street, just off Market Street, in Wilmington. Inside were a few handmade ornaments from my grandmother and a mismatched set that makes our tree look imperfectly perfect. I spent the next hour walking the lot, heart sinking, hoping someone picked them up and would return them to their rightful place.

Brown Fossil wallet with tan stitching

I lost my brown Fossil wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Market Street in downtown Wilmington, NC. It's a compact bifold, about the size of a standard credit card wallet, with smooth brown leather and tan stitching. There's a small coffee stain on the back corner, and the interior lining has a pink cardholder I use for receipts. Inside I kept my driver's license and a photo of my mom, so this wallet has sentimental value and I'm really hoping someone can return it.
