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 Northwest GA 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 Northwest GA in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Hats near Dalton Town Square clock tower

I was at the Dalton Farmers Market in Northwest Georgia on Saturday around 4:15 PM, and a gust of wind knocked my hat off my head. My black felt hat with a thin red ribbon slipped away as I turned to greet a friend near the bread truck. I dashed through the market lanes, checked benches by the fountain, and even asked a couple of vendors if they’d seen it, but nothing turned up. That hat is more than clothing to me—it's a quiet talisman after a hectic week. I keep replaying the moment, hoping someone picked it up and left it somewhere safe by the clock tower in the square.

LOST: Holiday Decorations, Northwest GA

On Friday night around 8:15, I left a tote of holiday decorations in the back of my truck in the Dalton Walmart parking lot off West Walnut Avenue in Northwest GA. When I returned twenty minutes later, the box with two strings of multi-color lights, a garland, and a small inflatable snowman was gone. I walked the aisles I visited earlier, asked a couple of employees, and circled the fountain near the entrance, but the lot was quiet and empty. Those decorations were for a family gathering this weekend, and losing them feels like I’m missing a bit of holiday magic.

LOST pins near Walnut Square Mall, Dalton.

Last Saturday around 4:15 PM, I was by the main entrance at Walnut Square Mall in Dalton, GA, when a gust knocked my jacket pockets and my pins slipped out. The set includes a Georgia peach pin, a tiny blue star, and a vintage train pin—sentimental keepsakes from my grandmother. I retraced my steps along the food court corridor, asked a few mall staff, and checked the benches, but I couldn't find them. They meant a lot to me; I felt a lump in my throat realizing they're probably gone unless someone picked them up.

Blue VIP concert ticket with holographic seal

I lost my blue VIP concert ticket for the Downtown Soundwave show yesterday around 3pm. It’s a print-at-home ticket with a holographic seal in the top right corner and a small QR code. The ticket is for GA floor, Row 5, Seat 12, on white card stock with a thin blue border. I think it slipped out of my wallet outside The Forum on Broad Street in downtown Rome, GA, near the mural cafe; it's creased at the corner and has a tiny coffee stain on the bottom left. This show means a lot to me and it was a gift from a friend, so I really need it back. If found, please message me—I can verify ownership with my name and order #5729.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons

I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm near the Clock Tower on Broad Street in downtown Rome, GA, Northwest GA. It's in a black protective case with a small dragon sticker on the front and neon red/blue Joy-Cons. There's a tiny dent on the bottom edge and a faint line on the back from a quick repair attempt. It means a lot to me—it's been with me since college—and I really need it back after long shifts; if someone found it, message me here and we can meet up near the Clock Tower.

Missing 12-year-old daughter, pink hoodie, NW GA

I lost my 12-year-old daughter yesterday around 3pm near the Dalton Depot on West Broad Street in Northwest GA. She's wearing a bright pink hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers with pink laces. She has a crescent-shaped scar on her left eyebrow and wears a black beanie with a red logo; she also carries a blue backpack with a bear keychain and a small pixie charm. I'm really worried—this backpack holds her favorite notes from school and the bear was a gift from her grandmother. If you've seen her, please email me at [email protected].
