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 Hampton Roads 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 Hampton Roads in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: chokers in Hampton Roads, VA

I was walking along Town Point Park in downtown Norfolk around 6:30 p.m. last Saturday when I realized my chokers were gone from my bag. They’re three delicate black chokers with small silver charms, all tangled in a tiny satin pouch. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from a dear friend, so I’m hoping someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe. If these are yours, please reply through the site so we can arrange a calm meetup near the park.

Lost document holders near Town Center, Hampton Roads

I lost my document holders while rushing between meetings at the Virginia Beach Town Center around 3:20 p.m. on Tuesday. One is a black leather binder with a white label on the spine, the other a blue fabric folio with my initials tucked inside a back pocket. I was near the central fountain by the outdoor seating area when I realized they weren't in my bag anymore. They contain important documents for work, and I’d be grateful to have them back, even if only for the sentimental value.

Lost memory cards near Town Point Park, Hampton Roads

I was wrapping a quick shoot near Town Point Park in Norfolk when my memory cards spilled out of my camera bag around 3:30 pm on Sunday. The two cards—one 64GB and one 32GB—landed on the concrete and slipped under a bench before I could grab them. I've retraced the boardwalks from Town Point Park to the Nauticus grounds, asking vendors and joggers if they'd seen a gray camera bag. Those cards hold weeks of client work and a few personal experiments, so losing them feels like losing time itself.

Lost suits near Town Point Park, Norfolk.

I was packing up after a conference in Hampton Roads around 9:10 a.m. on Tuesday when I realized my navy suit jackets and matching trousers were gone from the chair by the window near Town Point Park in Norfolk.

I lost my shoes along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.

Last Wednesday around 5:45 p.m., I realized my shoes were gone from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront Boardwalk near 24th Street. They’re a size 9, lightweight black running shoes with a blue stripe and a small tear on the left toe. I rely on them for my daily runs along the boardwalk, and losing them has put a real damper on my routine. If someone happened to find them, I’d really appreciate them being kept safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost scarf in Hampton Roads, VA

I was strolling back from a latte at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, near the Waterside District in Norfolk, in Hampton Roads, Virginia, United States, when I realized my scarf was gone from the chair I’d left it on. It’s a charcoal gray knit with a small blue tassel on the end, a simple piece that somehow felt like a hug after a long week. I retraced my steps along the promenade, asked a couple of baristas, and checked the nearby benches, but no sign of it. This scarf carries memories of last winter’s walks by the harbor, and I miss it more than I expected.
