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 drones after sunset near Canal Walk

I was out filming with my two drones near Libby Hill Park along the James River Canal Walk around 7:15 PM last Saturday when a gust knocked them off course. One drone is a compact gray model with a damaged propeller; the other is a larger white drone with a red camera housing. They drifted toward the tree line by the river and disappeared among the maples. I'm devastated because the footage in the last flight was for a local project, and replacing both of them would be tough.

Lost paintings in Richmond, Virginia, United States

I lost my paintings last Friday. They are three framed works showing landscapes in blues and greens. I last saw them around 5:45 PM near the steps of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on Arthur Ashe Boulevard in Richmond, as the sun dipped and painted the stone gold. These pieces feel like part of me, and I keep replaying the moment I realized they were gone.

Lost gym clothes—blue shorts and gray hoodie.

After a 6:15 p.m. boot camp downtown, I headed toward the riverfront parking lot by Brown's Island along Riverside Drive. When I got to my car around 7:20 p.m., I realized my gym clothes weren't in my bag. They are a blue pair of shorts and a gray hoodie with a red stripe on the sleeve, items I wear every week. This loss has really thrown me off my training routine, and I hope they turn up somewhere in Richmond.

Lost: Navy pinstripe suit in Richmond, VA

I lost my navy pinstripe suits after a late client meeting. I parked near the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on Cary Street. Around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized the suits were missing from the back seat of my car. There are two jackets and two matching trousers, all in good condition, with a copper button detail on one jacket. They’re my go-to attire for important meetings, and I’m anxious about dressing for next week’s conference. I keep imagining them sitting on the back seat, or perhaps left behind in the lot at the VMFA. If you’ve seen them, please hold onto them until I can get back to Richmond to claim them.

Lost Travel Visas near Cary Street Café, Richmond.

I was traveling for work and left my Travel Visas in a tan folder inside my carry-on bag at Cary Street Café in Richmond around 6:10 p.m. last Tuesday. I barely realized it after finishing a quick dinner and walking toward Monroe Park, and I felt a wave of panic knowing those visas are essential for my upcoming trip. The folder is plain, but the papers inside are priceless—one stamp could derail my entire itinerary. I’m hoping someone picked up the folder and handed it in; I just want it back so I can finish the preparations and not derail my plans.
