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 Lynchburg 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 Lynchburg in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost holiday decorations near downtown Lynchburg

Last Sunday at 3:45 p.m., I left a box of holiday decorations on the front porch of my apartment on Jefferson Street in Lynchburg. A gust knocked the lid, and the garlands, a wreath, and a string of lights slid toward Court Street near the Lynchburg Market. I walked that route and the courthouse lawn twice, but nothing turned up. They are not fancy, just memories from family gatherings. I miss the glow they give our home and the sense of Christmas we try to keep alive. If you saw them, please think of us.

Lost DVDs in Lynchburg

I was getting ready for movie night in my apartment on College Street in Lynchburg, around 8:45 PM on Friday, when my stack of DVDs vanished from the coffee table. The set includes a beloved copy of Casablanca and a sci‑fi box set I picked up last semester. I had just stepped outside to take out the trash near Riverfront Park, and I came back to an empty shelf. This collection holds memories of family nights and friends, and I’m really hoping it’s somewhere close by. If you spotted a small pile of discs or a blue shelf unit nearby, please let me know.

Left Acuvue Oasys lens with faint blue edge

I lost my left Acuvue Oasys contact lens yesterday around 5:15pm. It's a single, clear lens with a faint blue edge and a tiny micro-mark along the rim for orientation. I was walking along Market Street in downtown Lynchburg, around the Market Street Bridge near the coffee stand outside the Bank of the James building when I realized it was gone. The lens is crucial for my day-to-day routine; I have an important meeting tomorrow and really need it back. If anyone finds it, please drop it at the downtown Lost & Found or message me here. Thanks so much.

Gold-tone bracelet with turquoise bead and heart charm

I was out for a walk yesterday around 3pm and I think I dropped my bracelet near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Lynchburg. It’s a slim gold-tone bracelet, about 6.5 inches, with a small turquoise bead and a tiny heart charm engraved with my initials 'PP' on the clasp. The bracelet looks a little tarnished around the edges but otherwise intact. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, who passed away last year. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate it getting back.

Black Dell XPS 13 laptop with blue keyboard skin

I lost my black Dell XPS 13 laptop yesterday around 3pm near the Lynchburg Public Library on Court Street. It's a 13-inch ultrabook, matte black, with a blue silicone keyboard skin and a small dent on the top-right corner. There's a white sticker with a lighthouse emblem on the palm rest and my initials 'PK' engraved on the lid. The wallpaper is a photo of my grandmother, and I've got important documents and class notes on it. This device means a lot to me and I'd really appreciate it being returned if found.

Blue reflective dog collar with paw-tag

I lost my blue reflective dog collar yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Lynchburg. It's a medium-width nylon collar, electric blue, with a small brass paw-print tag engraved with my dog's name, Nova, and my phone number on the back. The buckle is a bit scratched and the D-ring is slightly bent, but it's still totally usable. Nova is my rescue dog, and that collar has sentimental value—it helps me know she belongs to me when we're out wandering the neighborhood. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; please text me and I’ll pick it up as soon as I can.
