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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Two white toasters lost near Hanes Mall, Winston-Salem.

I lost my two toasters around 6:45 PM on Friday in the Winston-Salem area. I’d just swung by Hanes Mall and bumped into a friend on Peters Creek Parkway, and by the time I checked my tote, the toasters weren’t there. They’re white with a little chrome trim and a small coffee stain on the side—nothing fancy, just mine. I’ve been kicking myself since, hoping a good Samaritan somewhere in the Hanes Mall corridor might’ve handed them in. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful for the help through the site.

Lost GPS devices in Winston-Salem

Today around 2:30 p.m., I realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack after a quick coffee break near Old Salem. I retraced my steps along Liberty Street and around the Benton Convention Center area, hoping they hadn’t slipped into a passerby’s bag or onto a vendor table. Those little units are my lifeline for getting around this week, and losing them left me feeling anxious and a little embarrassed. I’m holding out hope someone nearby turned them in and kept them safe.

Black Michael Kors handbag with red tassel

I was out running errands yesterday afternoon and I think I dropped my black Michael Kors handbag somewhere near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Winston-Salem around 3pm. It's in pretty good shape, black pebbled leather with a red tassel on the zipper pull, a small silver MK logo, and an interior black satin lining. Inside I have my wallet, a faded photo of my grandmother, and a key fob with initials 'AL' that I engraved years ago—the sentimental stuff is the real worry here. If anyone found it, please let me know — I really need it back; it was a gift and contains keepsakes that mean a lot to me.

Gray tabby cat with pink collar and bell

I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Trade Street in downtown Winston-Salem. She's about 9 pounds, short-haired, with a pink collar and a tiny silver bell, and there's a white heart-shaped patch on her chest. She has a slight limp on her left hind leg from an old injury, and she’s usually friendly once she warms up. This cat means the world to me—she's been a rescue with sentimental value, and I’d be devastated to lose her. If anyone spots her wandering around the Market Street and Trade Street area, please text me or email me; I’d be incredibly grateful to get her back.

Gray tabby cat with blue bell collar

Last night I realized Milo was gone. I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 4pm near the Starbucks on Reynolda Road in Winston-Salem. Milo is about 9 pounds, with white paws and a blue collar that has a tiny silver heart-shaped tag. He’s usually shy with new people but will come when I call his name softly—if you say "Milo," he might respond. He’s been with me since he was a kitten and was a gift from my sister, so he means the world to me. I’m really worried and would love to have him back home soon. If you spot him, please text me so I can meet you right away.

Black leather wallet with brass initials lost downtown Winston-Salem

I lost my black Coach wallet yesterday afternoon around 3:15 pm near the Starbucks on Trade Street in downtown Winston-Salem. It's a black pebbled leather Coach wallet, about the size of a business card holder, with my driver's license, three cards, and about $60 cash inside. There's a tiny coffee stain on the back and the inside sleeve has my initials 'P.K.' embossed in blue on the card slot. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please contact me here or drop it at the downtown lost-and-found; I really appreciate getting it back.
