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 Oxford 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 Oxford in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost CDs in central Oxford near Carfax Tower

I lost a small blue CD case this morning in central Oxford. At about 9:15 am I was leaving the Bodleian Library through Carfax when I realized the case wasn’t in my bag. Inside are about a dozen CDs—indie rock, a classical recital, and a college choir recording—kept in a faded blue sleeve with a green sticker. They’re sentimental, especially the recital CD from my dad’s university days. I wandered from Carfax Tower toward the Radcliffe Camera to retrace my steps, checking benches and the Covered Market area, but I couldn’t find it. If found, I hope someone can return it through the site.

Lost black personal bag with gold-like zip

When helping my disable husband to board ST2 bus at the stop Millway Close (in Mere Rd in Wolvercote Oxford) on June 18 at 13:09, I left behind on the pavement a black personal bag with a golden-like zip on the top. When returned to the place in about 20 minutes, the bag was not there any more. The bag contained a selection of plastic shopping bags and a black coffee mug with a special top with a small opening and a plastic straw. No valuables are in the bag, it just has a sentimental value because it was a gift.

Lost Driver's License in Oxford

Last Friday around 6:45 pm, I realized my driver's license was missing from my coat pocket after a stroll near the Oxford Covered Market. I retraced my steps along High Street toward Carfax Tower, but the square had already emptied and the breeze seemed to hide it. The license has my photo and address, and I have an appointment next week that relies on it. If you've found it, please message me through the site and we can arrange a pickup from a central point in Oxford.

Black Samsung 32-inch smart TV with remote

I lost my black Samsung 32-inch smart TV yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market on Cornmarket Street in Oxford. The TV is in good condition with no cracks, but there's a small dent on the bottom edge and a blue sticker on the back that reads 'Property of MK'. I rely on it for editing videos for my freelance gigs, so it's not just entertainment—it's essential for work and I really need it back. If you found it, please message me here so we can figure out the easiest way to arrange a return.
