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 Wilmington 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 Wilmington in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hamsters near downtown Wilmington, NC

Hi, I'm Avery Collins. I was walking from Riverfront Park toward Market Street around 7:15 PM on Saturday when the cage door slipped from my grip and the hamsters vanished. Niblet is white with a brown patch, Pebble is gray with a black tail, tiny and fast, and they disappeared among the benches near the Riverwalk entrance on Market Street. The Cape Fear Riverfront lights glow over the cobblestones, and my daughter keeps asking where they went, which makes me anxious. If you saw two little squeaks or a flash of fur, I’d be grateful for any help so I can bring them back home.

lost: two silver brooches with pearls

I was walking along the Wilmington Riverwalk by the Cape Fear River on Saturday around 4:15 p.m. I had tucked two small silver brooches with pearl centers into a velvet-lined tin in my tote, and I realized they were missing after I paused to snap a photo by the Bellamy Mansion. They’re about 1.25 inches across, with a delicate leaf motif that catches the light when the sun hits them. I’ve never lost something so sentimental, and my heart sank thinking they might be out there on a bench or in someone’s bag. If you found them, I’d be eternally grateful to get them back through the site.

Lost leashes near Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, NC

I lost my two leashes while strolling along the Cape Fear Riverfront, just past the Riverwalk gazebo, at 7:45 p.m. last Friday. I stopped to tie my shoes and searched the windy boardwalk, but the bright red and blue leashes were gone. They’re simple nylon pieces, one red with a paw print, the other blue with a lime stripe—practical and well-used, nothing fancy. If someone happens to have found them, I hope they’ll bring them back to the Riverwalk area near the train station.
