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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost silver Yamaha flute with blue case

I lost my silver Yamaha student flute yesterday around 3pm in front of the Lied Center for the Performing Arts, near 12th and O Streets in Lincoln. It’s a compact wind instrument, about 26 inches long, with a few light scratches along the foot joint and a tiny dent near the head joint. It lives in a blue hard case with a black zipper, and I tied a small red ribbon to the handle so I’d notice it. Inside, the lining is blue. There are engraved initials 'AP' on the lip plate and on the lid of the case. It’s sentimental—it was a gift from my grandmother—and I really need it back. If you found it, a quick message would mean the world to me.

I just want to get it back, it's a favorite and a little sentimental piece I hate to part with.

Red/black Wilson tennis bag with rackets

I lost my red and black Wilson tennis bag yesterday around 3pm outside the Haymarket Park tennis courts on O Street in Lincoln. The bag is a medium-sized model with two graphite rackets visible at the top; one racket has a bright blue overgrip and a tiny orange zipper pull, the other sports a worn black grip. Inside there’s a yellow microfiber towel with a Nebraska Huskers logo and a small coffee stain on the bottom. It’s in decent condition overall, but the loss has sentimental value because I use it for weekly league play and really need it back. If you found it, please reach out—happy to trade or offer a reward for its return.

Red Nike running shoes, size 9

I lost my bright red Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on O Street in Lincoln's Haymarket district. They're size 9, red mesh uppers with white soles, a blue reflective heel tab, and a tiny pink paint speck on the toe. The left shoe has a slightly stretched lace loop from a race, and the Nike swoosh shows a bit of wear. They’re my everyday training shoes and have sentimental value because they helped me finish my first half-marathon; I really need them back. If anyone found them, please reach out—I'd be grateful to get them back to keep up with my training.
