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 Leeds 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 Leeds in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost photographs in Leeds city centre.

I was walking through Leeds city centre, near Kirkgate Market, last Friday around 4:25 p.m., when I realized my bag felt lighter and my photographs were missing. The bundle had a few prints from a family trip, including a black-and-white shot of my grandmother's wedding day and some colorful snaps from a seaside visit. They were precious to me, not just images but memories I can't replace. If anyone has found them, I’d be grateful if you can hand them in through the site so I can recover these moments.

Lost: Driver's License in Leeds

I was strolling through Leeds City Centre, around 7:40 p.m. last Friday, heading from Briggate toward Leeds Station when I realised my Driver's License was missing from my jacket pocket. The license has a blue cover and my name on the front; I rely on it for work and travel, so missing it makes me anxious. I retraced my steps along Briggate, past the Corn Exchange, and down toward the station concourse, but I couldn't find it. If anyone has seen it, please drop a note through the site so I can arrange retrieval.

Lost holiday decorations near Leeds city centre.

On Friday at about 7:30 pm, I noticed my holiday decorations were gone from the living room window of my flat near Leeds city centre. I last saw them on the coffee table by the sofa and I retraced my steps through the hallway to the back door, checking behind the radiator and under the stairs on Kirkstall Road. The set includes a red-and-gold tinsel garland, a string of tiny LED snowflakes, and a small blue paper lantern. It felt like a little piece of Christmas slipped away, and I’m hoping someone who passed by Briggate last night might have found them and kept them safe.

Silver Yamaha flute with engraved initials PK

I’m hoping someone picked up my silver Yamaha flute after I dropped it yesterday around 3pm near Leeds City Museum and The Headrow. It’s in a black hard case with a red interior, with a few small scratches along the body and a tiny dent near the bell. The lip plate is engraved with my initials 'PK', and inside the case there’s a blue cleaning cloth tucked under the lining. This flute means a lot to me—it was a gift from my aunt and I’ve been playing it since school; I’d be really grateful to get it back if anyone found it near Briggate or the Central Library area.

Lost dog: tan Labrador mix with green paw tag

I lost my tan Labrador mix yesterday around 3pm. He's medium-sized, about knee-high, with a white chest patch and a slightly crooked tail. Last seen near Briggate by Kirkgate Market in Leeds, heading toward Millennium Square after darting into a crowd by a bus stop. He wears a bright green paw-print tag on a black collar that reads 'Milo' and a contact number. He's friendly but a bit anxious in busy places, and this dog has sentimental value—he's basically family. If you've seen him, please message me; I really need him back.
