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 Glasgow are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
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.
For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
Post a listing. Add a listing for Glasgow in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost USB drives on Byres Road, Glasgow

Hi, I'm Maisie Campbell. I dropped my USB drives somewhere along Byres Road in Glasgow, near the University of Glasgow's main entrance, at about 8:15 PM on Monday. They contain class notes, a few personal photos, and some work files I can't replace easily, so I'm anxious to recover them. If you found them, please check here—I'll be watching for a match and will follow up through the site. My heart sank thinking someone might pick them up and forget them, but I'm hopeful they still belong to me.

Lost trading cards in Glasgow

I realized at 6:15 pm last Saturday after stepping out of Glasgow Central Station onto Gordon Street that my trading cards were gone. They were tucked in a blue binder inside my backpack, a mix of football cards and anime. The binder is worn at the edges, and one card has a tiny crease I can’t forget. Those cards were a small link to weekends I spent with my granddad, the kind of memory you don’t replace. If someone picked them up and kept them safe near the station, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost: Drones in Glasgow

I lost my drones last night after a quick session over Kelvingrove Park around 7:15 PM. I was filming a sunset by the Kelvingrove Art Gallery when a sudden gust pulled both machines into the trees and brush along the park path. The main drone is black with a red prop guard, and the secondary one is white with a small camera. I’m careful with them and the moment I realized they were gone I turned back and searched the grass and benches, but it was too dark. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful for a sign.

Lost: Two Parrots in Glasgow

I was walking through Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow around 5:15 PM yesterday when my two parrots slipped from their cages and disappeared into the crowd. One is bright green with a blue tail, the other a smaller yellow-green bird with a red beak. They respond to calls and might perch on a shoulder if you hear them. If you’ve seen them around or heard any chirps in the park, please keep an eye out near the statues and trees—I’m desperate to get them back.
