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.

Lost flutes near Market Square, Knoxville

I lost my flutes after a late rehearsal outside the Tennessee Theatre on Gay Street near Market Square, around 9:15 PM last Friday. The two wooden flutes were in a light-blue case and meant everything to me as I prepare for a recital. I retraced my steps along the brick sidewalks, but they were nowhere to be found. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be forever grateful and hopeful they’ll find their way back to me.

LOST CDs near Market Square, Knoxville

I was at Market Square in Knoxville around 6:45 p.m. last Friday, after leaving a coffee shop, when I realized my CDs were missing from a black tote I’d left on a chair near the Market Square fountain. The tote held a mix of rock and classical discs, all in slim cases with a few cover sleeves showing. There isn’t much else to go on, but these CDs are special to me, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan turned them in here. If this sounds like yours, please check the listing on the site.

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.
