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 Liverpool 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 Liverpool in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hamsters in Liverpool city center

I’m Oliver Reed. I lost my two hamsters, Niko and Luna, last Tuesday at about 7:45 p.m. in Liverpool city centre. I’d been walking from the Cavern Quarter toward Albert Dock with a small blue carry cage on my wrist. I paused near the Liver Building to take a photo, and when I looked again they’d vanished. They’re tiny, brown with a white patch, and they’re surprisingly quick. They’re very friendly once you coax them out with a seed. If you see them, please check around Albert Dock and the Liver Building area—the benches and kiosks there are full of hiding spots.

Lost Shoes near Cavern Club, Liverpool

Last Friday, after leaving the Cavern Club on Mathew Street around 10:15 PM, I realized my shoes were gone. They’re a pair of black leather loafers—simple, reliable, and worn for work and nights out alike. I’m desperate to find them before my shift next Monday. If you saw them near the Cavern Club or around Mathew Street, please respond through the site. I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost xylophones in Liverpool

I lost my xylophones after a late rehearsal. It was around 7:15 pm near the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool. I had them in a black canvas case, with a small white sticker on the corner. I must have set them down while I packed up, and when I looked back they were gone. Those instruments aren’t just objects to me—they’re a tiny classroom for the kids who join our weekend sessions by the water. I’m anxious but hopeful someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw anything, please let me know through the site. I’d be grateful to get them back in time for Friday’s class.

Lost: Breeds notebook in Liverpool

I was leaving the pub near Albert Dock on Water Street at around 7:45 PM when a small notebook titled Breeds slipped from my bag. It contains breed profiles, doodles of dogs, and notes in a handwriting I recognize. I retraced steps toward the Liverpool One area, hoping to spot it, but the drizzle and crowds made it vanish. If anyone has seen it, please bring it to the Lost & Found; it means a lot to me.

Lost Belts near Mathew Street, Cavern Club.

On Friday at 6:20 pm, after a gig near the Cavern Club on Mathew Street, I realized my belts were missing from my bag. They’re two leather belts, one black with a silver buckle and one brown with a brass buckle, both with worn edges. I last remember adjusting them near Concert Square as I headed toward Lime Street. These belts were gifts and hold real sentimental value, so I’m hoping someone who found them kept them safe and will post here if they’ve seen them.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Liverpool

Late yesterday evening, around 7:15 PM, I realized my bag of sports gear had been lost from Sefton Park's athletic area after a quick jog by the tennis courts. It contains football boots, a cricket bat, and a tennis racket all in a black zipped bag with my initials on the tag. I retraced my steps along Park Road and through the park, but it didn’t show up. Those items are essential for my weekend training, and I’m hopeful someone picked them up in good faith. If you found a multi sport kit, please let me know through the site.
