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 Mobile 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 Mobile in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Chargers near Saenger Theatre

On Friday afternoon around 3:45 p.m., I realized my phone wouldn't charge and I couldn't find my chargers anywhere. I had parked near the Saenger Theatre on Joachim Street after grabbing coffee on Dauphin Street, and I retraced my steps through the crowds, hoping they'd turn up. I searched the plaza and nearby cafes, even checked around the Mobile Civic Center, but the chargers were gone. They are a black braided cable with a gray power bank, essential for work, and I’m anxious about not having them. If you found them, please know they belong to someone trying to stay connected in Mobile.

Lost Sheets in Mobile

I was staying with a friend in Mobile and did laundry at the laundromat on Dauphin Street, near Bienville Square, around 9:15 this morning. I must have left my white cotton sheet set in the laundry bag, because when I returned to collect it, it wasn’t there. The sheets are plain white with a pale blue border and feel soft from years of use. It’s hard to overstate how much these sheets mean to me; if you found them, I’d be grateful to have them back so our guest room can be ready.

Lost gym clothes near the Dauphin Street YMCA.

I was finishing a 6:45 p.m. spin class at the Midtown Mobile YMCA on Dauphin Street when I realized my gym clothes weren’t in my locker anymore. The items include a gray zip-up hoodie and black leggings with a blue stripe, tucked in a navy gym bag. I retraced my steps through the lobby and into the locker area, but the room was crowded and someone could have slipped away with them. These clothes are essential for practice this week, and I’m hoping they’ll turn up at the lost-and-found or with a kind passerby. It’s a stressful moment, but I’m staying hopeful they’ll be returned to the right owner.

Lost utensils near Bienville Square, Mobile

I lost my utensils this morning around 8:40 a.m. while I was at Bienville Square in downtown Mobile, near the fountain and the food trucks. I had my tote on a bench while I chatted with a vendor about a neighbor's recipe, and when I stood to leave, the set—two wooden-handled spoons, a battered spatula, and a dented steel fork—vanished. I retraced a loop along Dauphin Street, past the old oaks toward the Mobile Civic Center, but no sign of them. These utensils belonged to my grandmother; memories swirl with every clink of a plate, and losing them today hit harder than I expected. If anyone finds a mismatched set near the square, please keep them safe and let me know they’ve been found.

Lost driver's license near Bienville Square

I was leaving a coffee shop near Bienville Square around 7:15 PM on Tuesday when I realized my driver's license was missing. It's a blue plastic card with my photo, and I need it for travel and work, so the absence hits hard. I retraced my steps along Dauphin Street and back toward Bienville Square, but I came up empty. The heat and the hum of Mobile's nightlife feel heavier now without it.

Blue Travelon RFID passport wallet

Yesterday around 3pm I misplaced my blue Travelon RFID passport wallet near the Starbucks on Dauphin Street by the Saenger Theatre in downtown Mobile. It's a compact blue nylon wallet about the size of a passport, with a red zipper pull and a lime-green luggage tag I use to spot it. There’s a tiny coffee stain on the bottom corner and a scratch along the back from a bag handle. Inside I kept my passport, a couple of emergency cards, and travel plans for an upcoming trip; it feels sentimental because it was a practical gift from a friend. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
