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 Albany 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 Albany in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Gym Bags near Albany Mall

I lost my gym bags after a 7:45 PM workout at the Albany Mall fitness area, near the food court. They’re two large duffels—one black, one gray—with a blue towel poking out of the zipper and a red water bottle rattling inside. I last saw them as I walked toward the mall entrance by the parking lot, and I’ve been replaying that moment in my head ever since. I’m anxious and frustrated because I rely on these items daily for training and work clothes. If you’ve seen them, please let the site know so I can get them back.

Lost synthesizers near Albany Civic Center.

Friday night after a small gig near Albany Civic Center, I was doing a quick setup and left my two synthesizers resting on a black rolling case by the loading dock. By the time I returned to pack up around 9:35 PM, the lot had emptied and the gear was gone. I’m crushed—those synths aren’t just gear; they’re my voice, with a vintage sound I can’t replicate. If someone picked them up and kept them safe, I’d be forever grateful to see them back on my stage.

Lost memory cards outside Albany Mall

I'm a photographer juggling a busy weekend, and I realized my memory cards vanished yesterday afternoon around 4:45 PM while I was leaving the Albany Mall, near the entrance by the cinema. The cards are two microSDs in a small red case, one with a blue label. I’m worried about the photos from this week’s shoots and the time I spent organizing them. If someone found them, I’d be forever grateful for their return through this site.

Lost organizers near Albany Civic Center, Albany

On Sunday at 2:20 p.m., I misplaced a bundle of organizers (binders, calendars, and color-coded tabs) for our local charity bake sale. The bag was in the back seat of my car while I walked from Broad Avenue toward the Albany Civic Center for a quick vendor setup, and when I returned the seat was empty. These organizers keep our volunteer roster and schedules in order, and losing them throws everything into confusion. If you found a tote of organizers with bright labels, please return it to the site so our team can get back to planning the event.

Family photographs lost near Albany Mall.

On Sunday around 4:10 PM, I was leaving the Albany Mall after grabbing a quick coffee and realized my box of family photographs wasn’t in my tote. They’re old black-and-white prints and a few color shots, all tucked into a weathered envelope with my grandma’s handwriting. I remember walking toward Riverfront Park and maybe dropping them near the entrance by the benches along the Flint River trail. These photos are all I have left of a family I’ve lost touch with, and I’m really hoping they turn up with a kind stranger who understands how much they mean.

Lost student ID near downtown Albany, GA

I was leaving the Albany State University library around 7:45 PM yesterday after a late class when I realized my student ID wasn’t in my pocket. It must have dropped somewhere between the library and the Albany Civic Center parking lot near Oglethorpe Boulevard. The card is a standard laminated ID in a brown leather sleeve with a blue lining. I really need it for exams and building access this week, so I’m anxious to get it back. I hope someone picked it up and handed it in at the campus police desk or the arena.
