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 Knoxville 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 Knoxville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

I lost my coin collection downtown Knoxville

Last Friday at 6:20 p.m., I was sitting on a bench in Market Square when I realized my coin collection wasn't in my pocket anymore. I had been flipping through a small album, and the breeze probably knocked the pouch loose. These coins are a family heirloom from my grandfather, and they carry a lot of memories. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back.

lost postcards from Knoxville trip, please help.

On Tuesday around 3:40 p.m., I was perched by the Market Square fountain in Knoxville, flipping through a small stack of postcards from our road trip. A gust of wind knocked my tote from my shoulder, and when I looked up the postcards were gone. They’re mostly scenic snaps and little notes from friends, with one faded stamp that still makes me smile. Most importantly, there’s a clipped photo of my grandmother tucked between the pages. I’ve walked the square twice, checked the benches, and asked a few locals, but no sign yet. If you found them, please tell the site so I can start healing a little.

Lost chargers near Market Square, Knoxville

On Friday night around 8:50 p.m., I realized I lost my chargers after leaving a concert at the Tennessee Theatre and sitting in a bench near Market Square. I had tucked them into the outer pocket of my backpack, and when I stood up to head home, they were gone. They’re two USB-C fast chargers in a gray braided cord, essential for keeping my work phone charged during long shifts. I’m anxious about missing calls and messages and I keep replaying the moment I must have dropped them on the pavement, hoping someone picked them up in downtown Knoxville.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Knoxville

I lost my holiday decorations on Saturday around 3:45 p.m. while unloading boxes from the car in front of my apartment near Market Square in downtown Knoxville. I had popped into a bakery on Gay Street for cookies and returned to the car to find them missing. They’re sentimental keepsakes from my grandmother, bright colors and a few chipped ornaments that carry our family stories. If they turned up anywhere around Market Square or Gay Street, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

Brown leather Fossil wallet with IDs

I lost my brown leather Fossil wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Market Square fountain on Market Street in Knoxville. It's a compact bifold, dark brown with lighter tan stitching, about the size of a credit card, and has a tiny red thread snag on the inner pocket. I keep my driver's license, a red gym membership card, and a photo of my niece in there. There's a coffee stain on the back corner and a small, almost invisible scratch by the Fossil logo. It was a gift from my sister and means a lot to me; I'm really hoping someone picked it up and can return it.
