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 Winchester 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 Winchester in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost CDs on Loudoun St, Winchester

I lost my CDs at 9:15 a.m. this Tuesday. I stepped out of a cafe on Loudoun Street, headed toward Handley Library with coffee in hand and headphones still on, when I noticed the CD case was empty. They aren’t just songs; they’re memories from concerts we’ve gone to together, a small musical map of my sister and me. I retraced my steps from the cafe to the Handley Library steps, then along the planter boxes outside the entrance, hoping for a gleam of silver or a flutter of a sleeve. The loss hurts; those disks carried a lot of us in them.

Lost drones near Bright Box Theater, Winchester, VA

I was filming a quick urban shot at 6:15 PM on Friday, April 10, and left my two drones on the bench outside the Bright Box Theater on North Loudoun Street. One is a gray quad with a red prop guard, the other white with a blue fox sticker on the top plate. A gust of wind and a few passersby must have toppled them, because when I looked back they were gone. Those drones are essential for my school projects and fun, and losing them has me stressed and worried. If someone found them, please know they mean a lot to me and I just want them back.

Lost radios near Handley Library, Winchester, VA

I was wrapping up a quick outdoor shoot near Handley Library on North Loudoun Street around 7:45 PM last Friday when two portable radios disappeared from my bag. They’re small, black with gray trim and a red zipper pull, housed in a weatherproof case. I rely on them for coordinating sound cues and lighting during shoots, and I’ve got a demanding job tomorrow. The sidewalks were busy with shoppers, and a street musician was playing near the courthouse plaza. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If someone found them, please let the site know I’ve misplaced them—my gear depends on these two radios.

Lost Travel Adapters in Winchester Old Town

I lost my travel adapters on Tuesday around 9:00 a.m. while walking through Old Town Winchester, near the George Washington's Headquarters Museum. I had stopped for coffee, and a moment later realized the adapters weren't in my bag where they should be. They’re essential for keeping my work laptop alive during a week-long trip, and I’m anxious about being unable to work without them. If you saw a compact black adapter set near the museum entrance or along the Apple Blossom grounds, please keep it safe—I'll be grateful to reclaim them.

Lost: Holiday decorations near Old Town Winchester

Sunday around 6:15 PM, I was unloading a box of holiday decorations in Old Town Winchester, Virginia, near the Warner Theatre. I realized the box wasn't in the car after I locked the trunk and walked back to check the curb, but it was gone. The box had red ribbons peeking out and held string lights and handmade ornaments that carry family memories. It would mean the world to our holiday preparations if someone found them and let us know through the site.

Tiny speckled hamster in blue cage

I lost my tiny speckled hamster yesterday around 3pm after I opened the living room window to air things out on the High Street, Winchester. He's a Syrian hamster, palm-sized, with brown and tan speckled fur and a pale belly. He lives in a small blue plastic cage with a clear door, and there's a tiny white patch on his left shoulder plus one ear that sits a little lower than the other. I last saw him darting toward the gap under the kitchen radiator and slipping into the alley behind the Winchester Guildhall near High Street. This little guy means a lot to me and my daughter—he was a rescue and has sentimental value. If anyone finds him, drop me a message here so we can arrange a meetup.
