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 Handheld and Console in Winchester

Last Friday at about 4:20 p.m., I was wandering through Old Town Winchester, near the Loudoun Street pedestrian bridge, after leaving Shenandoah University. I reached into my backpack and found my handheld gaming device and my console nowhere to be found. My stomach dropped; it's not just the devices, it's the hours of saved progress and the little routines that make evenings feel normal. I kept thinking I must have left them on a bench or slipped into a bag under a cafe table. I retraced steps along Cork Street and around the brick sidewalks, hoping someone turned them in, or that they are waiting somewhere safe. If found, I will be thankful and try to remember exactly where I spent that time.

Lost felines in Winchester, Virginia

Hi, I am Sarah Thompson. I lost my two cats in Winchester last night around 9:15 PM. They slipped out the back door on Cork Street and disappeared toward Old Town Winchester near the Bell Tower and the Courthouse. They mean the world to me — Luna is the calico with an orange patch on her nose, Milo is the gray tabby with white paws and a distinctive stripe on his left hind leg. I last saw them near the alley behind Loudoun Street, close to the Town Green.

Lost brooches near Old Town Winchester.

This afternoon around 1:45 PM I was walking through Old Town Winchester, along Loudoun Street toward the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. My two brooches slipped from my scarf pin and vanished somewhere between the Courthouse Square and the shops. One is a gold-tone leaf with a tiny pearl; the other a blue enamel butterfly with silver antennae. They came from my grandmother and mean a lot to me—like a piece of family history I hold onto. If anyone recalls seeing two brooches on the brick sidewalks near the Old Court House or the pedestrian area, please keep them safe.

Lost studs near Old Town Winchester

Hi, I'm Mia Carter. I lost my grandmother's gold stud earrings with tiny sapphire stones around 7:15 p.m. Sunday, after I left Smiths Cafe on Loudoun Street in Old Town Winchester. I walked past the Palace Theatre and down Cork Street toward Old Court House Square, but I must have dropped the pouch somewhere along the brick sidewalks. They mean so much to me; losing them feels like I've lost a little piece of her. If anyone found a small black pouch containing two tiny gold studs, I hope you are near and that they are safe somewhere nearby.

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.
