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 drapes near Beale Street, Memphis

On October 3, 2024, around 9:10 PM, I realized my drapes were gone from the living room of my apartment on Poplar Avenue, just north of Overton Park. The fabric is a soft cream with a delicate floral pattern, lined in pale blue. I must have folded them during a move and turned away for a minute; when I looked back they were gone. The room feels brighter and less homey without them, and I miss the soft light filtering through the fabric in the evenings. I am hoping a neighbor picked them up and kept them safe until I can reclaim them. If you found them, please hold onto them until the owner reappears.

Lost shoes near Beale Street, downtown Memphis.

Last Friday night, after the concert at the FedExForum, I realized my shoes were missing as I walked back toward Beale Street around 10:45 p.m. I had been along the riverfront near Beale Street Landing, and I must have kicked them off in the crowd after the show. I retraced my steps along the sidewalk and asked a few security staff and passersby, but no one had seen them. One shoe has a bright blue stripe, and I'm worn out from the day—hoping they turn up before I have to dash out for tomorrow's run.

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.
