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 Brighton 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 Brighton in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Holiday Decorations in Brighton

I was decorating my flat near the Brighton Pier on Friday at 7:15 PM when I realized my holiday decorations were missing. The box had strings of warm white lights, a six-foot garland, and a few handmade ornaments I treasure. I can picture them glowing softly in the streetlight as I approached the front door, and a wave of panic mixed with disappointment washed over me. If anyone spotted a box or decorations near the Royal Pavilion Gardens or along Madeira Drive, please help me bring them home.

lost: Photographs near Brighton Palace Pier

I lost a small stack of photographs on Tuesday around 7:45 p.m. while strolling along the Brighton seafront near the Pavilion. They’re a mix of black-and-white prints and a few colour snaps from a trip to the South Downs, memories of my late grandmother. They were tucked into a faded album that I carried in my bag. They hold a lot of sentimental value, and I’m hoping they didn’t blow away into the windy sea air. If you picked up a small packet of old photos by the Brighton seafront, perhaps near the Palace Pier or North Laine, please tell me via the site so I can start to fix these memories.

Lost: Equipment for Various Sports in Brighton

I realized around 7:15 p.m. on Sunday that my Equipment for Various Sports had vanished from the bench outside the Royal Pavilion Gardens, near the seafront in Brighton. The bag held a tennis racket, a cricket bat, a pair of trainers, and a few other items I use for weekend games. I felt a lump in my throat at the thought of losing them, since they’re part of my routine and training. If someone picked them up and kept them safe, I’d be grateful to be reunited through the site.

Lost Student ID in Brighton

On a windy Thursday evening, around 9:15 p.m., I realized my student ID was missing after studying at the University of Brighton library near the seafront. I walked from the library toward the Brighton Dome, past the Royal Pavilion, and I felt a little exposed knowing my ID isn’t in my wallet. The card is plain, with my photo and name, but it means access to essential campus services and a sense of security while I’m out and about in Brighton. If anyone found it around North Laine or Churchill Square, please hold onto it for me.
