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: Driver's License in Lynchburg

Tuesday afternoon, around 3:45 PM, I was walking along Campbell Avenue toward Riverfront Park, near the Lynchburg Community Market, when I realized my wallet felt lighter and my driver's license was missing from the back pocket. I retraced my steps along Adams Street and downtown, but I didn’t see it. The license is a Virginia photo ID with a small crease along the corner. I'm anxious about replacing it and the hassles of verification, and I'm hoping it turns up with someone honest. If you happened to pick it up, I’d be grateful for its return so I can sort things out and keep moving.

Lost postcards near Percival's Island, Lynchburg

Hi, I'm Grace Mitchell. I lost a stack of postcards during a weekend wander in Lynchburg. I last had them at 4:15 PM Saturday, sitting on a bench near the Riverfront Park overlook along Jefferson Street, with the James River flashing blue beyond the railing. The cards are a mix of vintage seaside views and grainy street scenes, some ink faded, others still bright. A thin red string bound them together; I included a photo of a lighthouse from Percival's Island Trail. They aren’t valuable beyond memory, but they mean the world to me. If they turn up on a bench or in a tote along the Riverwalk, I’d be grateful to know they’re back in circulation.

Sculptures lost near Lynchburg Riverfront Park

Hi, I’m Sophia Bennett. Last Saturday around 9:45 p.m., I left two sculptures on a bench by the fountain at Riverfront Park in downtown Lynchburg while I chatted with a friend. They’re two pieces: one bronze figure about two feet tall, and a glass orb mounted on a silver stand. When I turned back, they were gone. I’m heartbroken because the pieces were meant for a community show tomorrow, and I’m worried they’ll be damaged or stolen. If you saw anything around Riverfront Park by the James River, or if someone handed them in to the park office, please let me know and I’ll come for them.

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.
