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 Southern WV 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 Southern WV in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost flutes in Southern WV

Last Saturday around 5:30 p.m., I was practicing scales outside Beckley Farmers Market when a gust knocked my case loose and the flutes slipped away with the crowd. The set includes a silver concert flute with a few dents and a smaller silver flute with a bright blue cleaning rod tucked inside. I had just passed Raleigh Street and looked back toward the market entrance, only to realize the bag was gone. Those instruments belong to years of lessons and performances, and I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Scarves LOST near the New River Gorge Bridge overlook.

I was hiking in Southern West Virginia around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when I lost my scarf from my jacket. It’s a cream-colored wool scarf with a thin blue stripe and a tiny snag near the edge. I retraced the River Trail to the Canyon Rim Overlook, checked the parking area by the small cafe, and even wandered along the railing, but it wasn’t there. It sounds silly, but losing it felt like losing a small friend on a chilly evening. If someone picked it up, please know it’s loved and I’d be grateful for its safe return.

Lost Wrist Watches in Southern WV.

I was walking the Grandview State Park overlook last Saturday around 8:45 p.m. when one of my wrist watches slipped off my wrist and vanished into the brush. The other watch, a silver case with a blue face, was a gift from my grandfather and means a lot to me. I’ve checked the immediate area and asked a few hikers, but it’s easy to miss in the dusk. If someone happened to come across them, I’d be grateful to get them back; they’re not just accessories, they’re memories.

LOST: Power Tools in Southern WV

I was finishing a porch project near the Canyon Rim Overlook in the Southern WV area when my power tools vanished from the truck bed around 3:15 PM yesterday. The toolbox with a red DeWalt drill, a circular saw, and assorted bits is what I need back. I retraced steps from the New River Gorge Bridge parking lot to the trailhead, calling out the tools, but the area gets busy and I couldn’t locate them. My hands are dusty and my mind is racing with thoughts of ruined plans—these tools mean a lot to my workshop.

Lost remote controls in Southern WV

I’m Maya Collins. I lost my remote controls last Friday around 7:30 p.m., somewhere in Beckley, West Virginia. I was winding down in the living room by the big window when I stepped into the kitchen for a snack and came back to find them missing. I’ve rummaged through the couch cushions, under the coffee table, and behind the TV stand, but they’re nowhere to be found. It’s frustrating and a little lonely trying to relax without a simple clicker, especially after a long week. If you’ve seen a pair of remotes on or near the couch by the living room map or in the hallway near Harper Road Walmart, I’d be grateful to hear about it.

Travel Visas missing, Southern WV

I lost Travel Visas last Friday around 4:00 p.m., at a rest stop along I-64 near the New River Gorge Bridge in Southern WV. The documents were tucked in a blue folder inside my backpack, and I must have left them there while I grabbed a snack. Without those visas, my trip is in jeopardy, and I’m scrambling to reissue everything. The folder bears a small sticker in the corner, and the papers smell faintly of rain. If you found anything near the overlook or the gas pumps, a note would be greatly appreciated.
