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 Lexington 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 Lexington in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Work Cases in Lexington, KY

I lost my Work Cases around 5:42 p.m. yesterday outside the Lexington Opera House on West Main Street. They’re a black leather pair with brass latches and a red CONFIDENTIAL label on the front. I carry them to every site visit, and I’m worried someone might get a peek at private sketches inside. I had set them on the passenger seat after a quick coffee by the Central Library, and when I turned back they were gone. If anyone saw them or picked them up, please let me know—these cases carry more than tools; they hold years of notes and plans I’m trying to protect.

Lost studs near Central Library, Lexington

I’m Caleb Turner. I lost my studs on Saturday around 4:15 PM after a quick stroll by the University of Kentucky campus and across Main Street in Lexington. They’re small silver studs with a blue stone, easy to miss if they slip from a pocket. I’d just paused outside the Central Library plaza to tie my shoe when I realized one was gone. I retraced my steps toward Keeneland’s area and along the sidewalk by the library steps, but the warmth of the day and crowds made it hard to spot. Losing them feels almost silly, but they mean a lot. If anyone picked them up, I’d be grateful to hear something.

lost travel adapters near Gratz Park, Lexington

I was leaving a meeting at 7:45 p.m. last Friday near Gratz Park on Main Street when I realized my travel adapters were missing from my tote bag. They’re a compact set: blue with a black plug module and a white USB-C adapter. Without them I can’t charge devices while traveling, and the fear of being offline during a trip is real. If you found them, please help me get back to them.

Lost shoes near UK campus, Lexington

Early this morning, around 7:40 AM, I went for a quick jog on the University of Kentucky campus and paused by the William T. Young Library to stretch. My neon-green running shoes slipped off my feet and disappeared behind a hedge near the library steps. I retraced my route along Rose Street and checked the landscaping by the fountain, but they’re gone. They’re special to me because they’re the pair I wore during an important interview last week, so I’m really hoping they turn up. If you saw a neon-green pair by the library or near the Rose Street entrance, please keep them safe and let me know on the site.

Lost leashes near Fayette Mall, Lexington

I lost my two dog leashes at the Fayette Mall's main entrance near the fountain around 6:15 p.m. last Thursday. One leash is blue nylon with a paw-print charm, the other a red webbing with a chipped metal clip. I've replayed that moment countless times, feeling stupid and worried about the dogs who rely on me for our weekend walks. They mean the world to me, and I hope someone picked them up and kept them safe here in Lexington, Kentucky, United States.

Lost hats near UK campus, Lexington

I was walking on the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington around 2:30 PM on Saturday, October 10, when a gust sent two hats tumbling from my head near Rose Street between the Student Center and the library. One is a gray wool beanie with a small white paw print on the cuff; the other a cream-colored fedora with a brown leather band. They’re meaningful to me, and I’d be heartbroken to not have them back after all the campus photos I’ve shot this season. If you found them in that area, please leave a note on this posting so I can arrange pickup through the site.
