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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Two dog leashes in Hampshire

I was walking my two dogs along the Riverside Esplanade near Itchen Bridge around 6:20 pm yesterday when the two leashes slipped from my grip. I retraced the route through Riverside Park, asking a few joggers and dog walkers, but the leashes are gone. One leash is blue with a reflective stripe; the other is plain black with a red clip. I feel anxious and hopeful at once, because these leashes belong to dogs who rely on me, and I just want them back safe.

Lost quilts in Hampshire—please help.

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I last handled the quilts around 6:30 pm on Monday after unloading groceries outside the Post Office on High Street, Southampton, Hampshire. They're handmade patchwork quilts in blue and cream, with my grandmother's initials stitched in one corner. They feel like a warm hug after long shifts, and I keep replaying the moment I must have left them on a bench near the Civic Centre. If you saw anything that matches, I’d be grateful to hear.

Lost my hoops near the Guildhall, Winchester, Hampshire

I’m Emily Carter. I was out with friends on Saturday evening, around 7:15 PM, wandering along High Street by the Guildhall when I realized my hoops had vanished from my bag. They’re small gold-tone hoops, the kind I wear every day. They were a Christmas gift from my sister, and losing them hurts more than I thought. I’ve retraced my steps past the cafés and parades, but nothing yet. If anyone has seen them or picked them up, please note it here through the site.

Lost USB drives in Hampshire, UK

I was on Winchester High Street by the Guildhall when I realized my USB drives were missing at about 4:15 p.m. today. The drives were in a small black case inside my backpack, and I’d been moving between the shops and the cathedral precinct. Losing them left me anxious because they contain work files and personal photos. I’m keeping an eye out along the cobbles and hoping someone turned them in at Winchester Cathedral vicinity.

Lost: Power Tools in Hampshire

I was in Winchester town centre by the Guildhall on Saturday around 2:30 p.m., helping set up a small charity stall when I must have left my blue toolbox with power tools in the back of my van. I stopped for a coffee for about fifteen minutes and, on returning, the toolbox had vanished. The tools include a cordless drill and a circular saw; they're essential for my weekend projects and repairs. Losing them has put a real hurdle in my plans and I’m hoping someone honest picked them up.
