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 Kent 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 Kent in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost organizers in Kent town center

While volunteering at Kent Town Hall on the High Street this morning around 9:15 AM, I realized my organizers were missing from my bag. They're bright pink with a zip section and a small laminated schedule inside; I use them for keeping track of the club’s meetings and events. I remember setting them down near a bench outside the Guildhall before heading to the bus stop, but when I looked back they were gone. The absence is more than practical inconvenience; it disrupts an entire week’s planning. If found, the organizers would mean a lot to me and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost handheld and console near Maidstone East

I realized I lost my handheld and console on Tuesday evening around 7:45 pm, outside Maidstone East station by the High Street. They were in a small black pouch with a blue zipper and a couple of stickers on the front. I’ve been commuting every day since, and the thought of those saved games and notes was rough to swallow. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back—they’re important to me beyond the price tag.

LOST: Sheet Music in Kent, UK

I lost a sheet music folder after a rehearsal outside Canterbury Westgate Gardens around 4:15 PM yesterday. The folder has a mix of classical pieces and a few pages annotated in pencil with my rehearsal notes. It's worn from frequent use, with a red label on the front and a small tear along the spine. I spent years collecting these scores, and one or two pages even smell faintly of lemon from the binder. I'm anxious about making it to my recital this weekend and I hope someone found it and kept it safe.

lost USB drives near Westgate Gardens, Canterbury

I lost two USB drives this morning at 11:30, while strolling through Westgate Gardens in Canterbury by the river and the bandstand. I must have left them in a black leather case in the pocket of my jacket. I only realised later when I got back to the car and started retracing along the paths toward High Street. The drives contain work backups and a few family photos, not things I can replace easily. I’ve checked the benches and the entrances to the gardens, but they’re nowhere to be found. If you picked them up or saw anything near the bandstand, please let me know — it would mean a lot to me.

Brass compass in leather pouch

I lost a small brass compass in a worn leather pouch yesterday afternoon near the Bluewater shopping centre, Market Street entrance in Greenhithe, Kent. The compass is pocket-sized, brass with a faint engraved rim and a tiny chip along the edge of the lid. On the back, the initials 'P.P.' are stamped, and the leather pouch has a dark brown patina from years of carrying it. It was a gift from my grandfather and means a lot to me; I really need it back. If anyone found it, please drop me a message—I'd be forever grateful.

Grey tote bag with fox keychain near Kent Public Library

I lost my grey tote bag yesterday around 3pm outside Main Street Coffee, near the Kent Public Library. It's a medium-sized nylon tote, about 14 inches tall, with a small fox-shaped keychain dangling from the zipper. Inside I had a pink notebook with doodles, a reusable water bottle, and a silver bracelet from my sister—it's sentimental and means a lot to me. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
