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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Pocket watch lost in Nottingham Market Square

I was wandering through Nottingham Market Square around 11:15 a.m. today, taking photos of the stalls when I felt a sudden tug and realized my pocket watch had slipped from my waistcoat pocket. It is a small gold open face watch on a delicate chain, with a blue dial and initials carved into the back. It belonged to my grandfather, and I have kept it in the same pocket for years. I am hoping someone spotted it on the cobbles and looked after it because it means the world to me.

Lost Driver's License in Nottingham

I’m Jamie Collins. At about 9:15 PM on Monday I realized I’d lost my Driver's License after leaving a small birthday gathering near Old Market Square and walking along Maid Marian Way toward the tram stop in Nottingham. I’ve searched the pavement, checked the pubs and shops along Wheeler Gate, and even asked a couple of passersby, but nothing turned up. That license is essential for work and travel, and the thought of someone else having it makes me anxious. If you found it anywhere in Nottingham, please keep it safe for me and hand it in through the site.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Nottingham

On Saturday at about 7:20 pm I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the living room of my flat on St James's Street, not far from Nottingham Castle. I think I must have left them on the sofa when I dashed out to grab my coat, and I came back to an empty hook and the soft glow of fairy lights still on. The set includes gold tinsel, a red-nosed reindeer, and a small battery-powered snowman that plays a tune when switched on. Losing them hurts more than the dusting of cold air—they bring back family traditions and a sense of festive comfort.

Lost trading cards in Nottingham

Hi, I’m Mia Carter. I was at the Nottingham tram stop near Broadmarsh Centre around 6:15 pm yesterday when I realised my trading cards were missing from my backpack. They’re a mixed deck—about 40 cards, with foil borders and a couple of rare dragons—that I’d been collecting for months. I’d swung by the train station to grab a quick coffee, then heard the zip catch and felt the pocket go light. I’m anxious but hopeful; these cards remind me of Sunday meetups in Old Market Square, and I’d love to have them back.

Lost hamsters near Old Market Square, Nottingham

I got home yesterday evening and realized my hamsters were gone around 6:15 PM. They live in a teal cage with a pink wheel, and the two little fuzzballs—one light brown, one grey—must have wriggled free while I was tidying up. I headed out toward Old Market Square, checked Market Street tram stops, the Notts Market, and behind the Council House, calling their names in a soft, panicked voice. The air was chilly and busy with people heading home, which doesn’t help. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you spot them, please help them get back home through the site.”

Lost hats near Market Square, Nottingham.

I lost my hat in Nottingham this evening, around 5:45 PM on Friday, outside the Council House in Market Square. It’s a navy blue knit beanie with a white pom-pom and a small stitched logo on the side. I’d been helping a friend film a short piece near Nottingham Castle, and I must have dropped it while the crowd moved from the Market Square. I’m feeling chilly and a bit unsettled without it; that hat has seen late train rides and long walks around the Lace Market. If you found anything matching that description near Market Square, please keep it safe for me.
