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 Auburn 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 Auburn in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost chokers near Toomer's Corner, Auburn

I lost my chokers during a quick study break outside Java Jive on College Street, just past Toomer's Corner, around 6:15 p.m. last Tuesday. They are a small trio: a black velvet choker with a tiny heart charm, a thin gold chain, and a braided gray one -- nothing flashy, but they carry a lot of memory. The velvet one was a gift from my sister, and I wore the others on special occasions; losing them makes me feel really unsettled. I have retraced my steps between the bookstore and the cafe and asked around campus, but no luck so far.

Lost Saxophones in Auburn, AL

I was wrapping up a late practice outside the Auburn University Music Department on Samford Avenue, near Toomer's Corner, when I realized my saxophones were gone around 9:15 p.m. last Wednesday. The set includes a lacquered brass tenor in a black case and an alto with a dent near the bell. Losing them feels like losing my voice, especially since I'm preparing for a campus gig this Friday and rely on those instruments every day. If you found them, I’d be beyond grateful to have them back so I can play again and keep making music.

Lost carry-ons near Toomer’s Corner, Auburn, Alabama

I’m Tyler Brooks. I lost my carry-ons this morning around 9:15 AM near Toomer’s Corner, by Samford Hall in downtown Auburn after a campus tour. They’re two pieces: a larger navy carry-on and a smaller tan backpack-style carry-on. They contain important documents and a change of clothes for a quick trip, so I’m stressed but hopeful. I’ve checked the campus shops and retraced along Auburn Ave and Toomer’s Street, but nothing turned up yet. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to hear through the site.

Lost paintings in Auburn, Alabama.

Grace Williams. I was at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art in Auburn on Friday around 6:15 PM after a campus art talk, and I realized my two small landscape paintings were missing from the back seat of my car. They are each about 12 by 16 inches, in matching navy frames with a thin gold accent. I distinctly remember parking near Toomer's Corner and walking to Club Cilantro for a quick bite, then returning to the car to find the trunk light on and the canvases gone. I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe; they're meaningful family pieces and I'd hate to lose them.

Lost microwaves near Toomer's Corner, Auburn

Status: LOST. I’m moving apartments and must have left two microwaves in the hallway outside the dorm’s common kitchen near Toomer’s Corner around 6:10 p.m. last Thursday. They’re compact white microwaves with black trim and gray cords; identical make and model. They’re simple but essential for quick meals between lectures, and they’ve become part of my daily routine. I’m kicking myself for the slip and keep hoping a kind soul found them and kept them safe near the Student Center. I’m crossing my fingers they turn up soon.

LOST stamps from my small collection, Auburn, AL

I lost my stamp album on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. near Toomer's Corner. I had left it on a wooden bench outside the Auburn University Bookstore by Samford Hall while I checked my notes. The album is small, with a red leather cover and a handful of older US commemoratives from the 1960s. It feels like a family keepsake, and I’m anxious about losing it forever.
