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 Memphis 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 Memphis in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost stamps in Memphis

I lost my stamp collection last Tuesday around 7:15 PM. I was going through my album at home near the Memphis Public Library on Poplar Avenue and fear I may have left the bag on the table outside the library entrance near Beale Street. The collection includes a 1920s commemorative with a portrait and a Tennessee postmark from the 1930s. They’re priceless to me, not for value but for the memories they hold. If anyone spots anything matching, please help me get them back through the site.

lost: power tools near Beale Street, Memphis

I lost my power tools around 2:10 p.m. yesterday, somewhere near Beale Street in Memphis. I had them in a red contractor tote and was loading into a friend's truck after stopping for a quick bite on Poplar Avenue. Those tools are essential for my home renovation, and losing them has stalled my project and left me feeling anxious. If you spotted a tote behind the Poplar Ave Ace Hardware or near the Beale Street area, please report it through the site so I can get them back.

Lost airline ticket in downtown Memphis

I was on Beale Street Landing in downtown Memphis around 7:45 p.m. last Friday when I realized my airline ticket was missing from my jacket pocket. The ticket was tucked inside a plain white envelope with a blue stamp, and I must have dropped it while I stepped out to enjoy a river breeze. I retraced my steps along the riverfront, checked the benches near the cobblestones by the old overlook, and even asked a street performer if he’d seen something flutter by, but no luck. This ticket is crucial for an early flight, and losing it has me anxious and scattered, hoping someone honest will find it and return it to me.

Lost sheet music near Beale Street, Memphis

I was playing along Beale Street in Memphis around 2:45 p.m. on Sunday when my sheet music disappeared from the stand. It’s the set I’ve been rehearsing for weeks—pencil notes, coffee stains, and a couple of personal annotations that mean a lot to me. I’d paused to answer a text near the FedExForum area and looked back to see the pages aren’t there. Losing them felt like losing a piece of my memory; the sheets aren’t pristine, but they’re mine and irreplaceable for tonight’s gig. I’ve retraced every step—from Beale Street to the Orpheum block—hopeful someone found them and turned them in at the Beale Street area lost-and-found.

Lost radios near Beale Street, Memphis

Hey there, I’m trying to track down two small handheld radios I must have left behind after a gig on Beale Street. It was around 6:20 p.m. on Sunday, near the entry to the Orpheum Theatre, when the crowd started to thin and I hurried to the car. The radios are in a worn black case; inside, one is gray with a small sticker and the other is matte black. They’re more than gear to me—they were my dad’s, and fixing the old tubes kept his memory close. If you spotted them around Beale Street or near Tom Lee Park, please let the site know so I can come collect them. Thank you.
