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 guitars near Crucible Theatre, Sheffield

I lost my guitars last Friday around 6:20 p.m. in Sheffield, near the Crucible Theatre and the Peace Gardens. They’re a sunburst Fender Stratocaster and a black acoustic with a frayed strap; both are like limbs to me when I’m playing after gigs. I had been walking from the Cathedral Quarter toward the Devonshire Quarter, and I must have left them on a bench by the Winter Garden or dropped them by a bus stop on St. Paul’s Road. I’m hoping someone picked them up and placed them somewhere safe while I keep looking. If you found them, please contact me through the site.

LOST: Pants in Sheffield

I was walking through Sheffield city centre this afternoon, around 2:15 PM, near the Peace Gardens and the Winter Garden when my bag bumped and my pants slipped away from inside. I looked around and asked a couple of people if they'd seen them, but no luck. They’re a plain black work pair with a small tear at the knee from an old ladder, nothing fancy but they mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my dad. If anyone found them near the Peace Gardens, Fargate, or the surrounding streets, please know they’re important to me and I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

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.
