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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost equipment for various sports in Sheffield city centre

I lost my equipment for various sports after a jog around Peace Gardens in Sheffield city centre around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. The bag had a cricket bat, shin guards, a training cone, and a damp towel—items I use for a midweek club session. I’d stopped to tie my shoelace by the ornate fountain and must have dropped it as I walked toward the tram stop. The gear matters to me because it’s part of a routine I’ve kept up for years with my local team. If someone happened to pick it up, I’d be grateful to have it back and keep training with the team.

Lost: Dog collars in central Sheffield

I lost my collars last night during a walk around 7:30 PM near the Peace Gardens outside Sheffield City Hall. We were crossing the square toward the Moor Market when they slipped from my pocket and vanished. They’re a blue nylon collar with a small bone pattern and a plain black leather one—both used on my dog’s daily trips. Losing them felt awful because the tags hold important id details and the names matter to me. If anyone has seen them around the tram stops by City Centre or near the Moor, please keep them safe for me.

LOST: Postcards in Sheffield

I lost a bundle of family postcards at 5:15 p.m. last Tuesday, near the Peace Gardens in Sheffield city centre. They’re my grandparents’ keepsakes from a long-ago trip, worn at the edges with little notes on the backs. I must have left them on a cafe table or dropped them while I stood up to take a photo. They mean a lot to me and I’d be heartbroken to lose them. If you’ve seen them around the gardens, please keep them safe.

Lost lamps in Sheffield city centre

Early this morning, around 9:15 a.m., I was moving through Sheffield city centre, making a few errands around The Moor and Peace Gardens, when I set two brass lamps on a chair for a moment. I placed them by the window of a friend’s flat on Howard Street while I waited for a lift, but a quick rain shower and a passing shopper must have displaced them. Now they’re gone, and they felt like a small piece of home. They’re brass with pale cream lampshades and a chipped corner—nothing fancy, but they mean a lot to me. If you found them, I’d be grateful for their return.
