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 Tuscaloosa 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 Tuscaloosa in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Stamps in Tuscaloosa

Lost stamps, last Friday around 5:30 PM near the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk by the gazebo, I misplaced a small red binder that held my grandfather’s stamp collection. It’s a compact, well-worn binder with a faded label and a few stamps showing through. I’d been sorting through it at the Riverwalk overlook and stepped away for a moment; when I returned, it was gone. This collection means a lot to me, and I’m desperate to recover it. If you found it, please keep it safe until I can get it back.

Lost keyboards near UA Student Union

I was at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Saturday around 8:30 p.m. when I last had my keyboards. They were in a black padded case with two keyboards, one sporting blue adhesive notes and a red USB-C cable peeking out. I remember stepping away to chat with a friend by the fountain near the Student Union and walking back to find them gone. I use these keyboards for late-night practice sessions and small gigs, so losing them hit hard and I’m clinging to hope they’ll be returned.

Lost holiday decorations near Bryant Drive, Tuscaloosa.

Hey there, I was stringing lights for a quick holiday setup and must have left them on the sidewalk after a quick coffee run around 8:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I remember walking past the Tuscaloosa Public Library on Bryant Drive, realizing my garland, a tangle of warm-white lights, and a handmade paper star ornament were missing. I retraced my steps by the library steps, the bus stop, and the little plaza at the side entrance, but they were gone. Those decorations mean a lot to my family and me, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can pick them up.

Lost CDs near Denny Chimes, UA campus.

I realized my CDs were missing as I left the library around 6:15 PM on Monday, descending the steps toward the quad by Denny Chimes on the University of Alabama campus. They’re my go-to road-trip mix—sunny guitar tunes and memories of home. I’d be grateful to have them back; those discs mean a lot to me. If this is yours, you can claim it through the site.

Lost wrist watch near Bryant-Denny Stadium

I was leaving the UA campus in Tuscaloosa at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, walking from the Quad toward Gate 9 when my silver-faced wrist watch slipped from my wrist and vanished into the cool evening air. It has a black leather band, a small scratch on the crown from a fall years ago, and a sentimental value I can't replace. I wear it for family milestones and late-night study sessions, and losing it feels like losing a thread back home. If someone found it wandering near Bryant-Denny Stadium, I’d be grateful to find it back and give it a proper home again.

Lost sheet music on UA campus

I lost my sheet music after a small ensemble rehearsal in the Ferguson Center on the University of Alabama campus around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday when I must have left it on a chair by the practice room. I headed toward the campus bookstore and returned to an empty room—the chair was gone, the music nowhere to be seen. The binder is blue, spiral-bound, with my name penciled on the first page and a few original arrangements for a recital this weekend. It matters to me more than I can say; those pages are irreplaceable.
