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 Richmond 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 Richmond in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost family pins near downtown Richmond, Indiana.

I was at the Richmond Public Library on Main Street around 7:42 PM last Tuesday when I realized my pins were gone. They’re tiny enamel pins in blue and gold, including a daisy and a little heart—the kind my grandmother wore every visit home. Losing them feels like losing a memory I can’t replace. I retraced my steps from the library to the courthouse square and down Main Street, but they weren’t there, and I’d be endlessly grateful if they turn up.

LOST: Sheet Music in Richmond, Indiana

I lost my sheet music from last night’s rehearsal. Those pages are my plan for the audition and carry a lot of weight for me. I had placed the pile on a chair in the Wayne County Public Library's main reading room around 5:15 p.m., then stepped out for a moment to stretch and grab a coffee. When I returned, the stack was gone and my heart sank. If someone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back in the desk at the library; they’re irreplaceable to my rehearsals.

Lost: Holiday Decorations in Richmond, Indiana

I lost my holiday decorations on Sunday, December 3, around 7:15 PM, after unloading them from my trunk outside the Morrisson-Reeves Library in downtown Richmond. I backed out of a parking space near East Main Street and realized a bag of glass ornaments hadn’t made it back into my car. These are heirloom ornaments, one with hand-painted snowflakes and another a little twine-wrapped star that belonged to my grandmother. They’re not valuable, but they mean a lot to me, especially this year when I’m trying to make our home feel festive again. I’m posting here because the thought of them being tucked away somewhere makes my heart ache, and I’d be grateful for any help in bringing them home.

Missing teen: 15-year-old boy in blue hoodie

I lost my younger brother, 15, yesterday around 3pm. I last saw him near the Starbucks on West Cary Street in the Fan District of Richmond as I was walking to my car. He was wearing a royal blue hoodie with a small white star on the left sleeve, gray joggers, and white sneakers with a blue stripe. He also wears a delicate gold locket on a thin chain that belonged to our grandmother; that item is sentimental and we'd really like to get it back. He has a slight limp from a soccer injury and a small scar above his left eyebrow. Text me if you've seen him; we're worried and just want him home safe.

Lost contact with friend in Richmond

Yesterday around 3pm, near the CVS on West Broad Street in Richmond, my friend Maya Patel and I got separated in the crowd. She was wearing a bright yellow rain jacket, blue jeans, and a small red crossbody bag, and she has shoulder-length black hair with a silver lotus necklace—totally her signature look. I last texted her, then my battery died, and I haven’t been able to reach her since. I’m really worried because we were supposed to meet up later today. If anyone sees someone matching this description, please drop me a note here—this contact is important to me.

Navy North Face backpack with fox patch and orange carabiner

Yesterday around 3pm I left my navy blue North Face Borealis backpack outside the Starbucks on Cary Street in Carytown, Richmond. It's a mid-sized bag in good shape, with a small white fox patch on the front pocket and a bright orange carabiner clipped to the top loop. The main zipper pull is red. Inside I had my science notes, a cracked phone charger, and a RVA sticker I've had for years. It has sentimental value — those photos from family trips are inside. This bag really matters to me; I really need it back. If you found it, send me a message, please.
