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 Coventry are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
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.
For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
Post a listing. Add a listing for Coventry in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sports equipment in Coventry

I lost my equipment for various sports after a training session near Coventry Cathedral at 7:30 pm on Monday. I had left a large blue holdall on a bench by the car park, and it vanished by the time I walked back with the rest of the team. Inside was gear for multiple sports—football boots, a rugby ball, a tennis racket, and a whistle—things I use every week. I’m gutted and the thought of someone else using my gear hits me hard when the street lamps glow over the square.

Lost hand tools in Coventry near Transport Museum

Hi, I’m the owner of these tools. I was walking home from a weekend DIY job near the Coventry Transport Museum on Millennium Place around 4:15 pm last Sunday when I noticed my hand tools were missing from my tote. The set lives in a blue canvas roll and includes a hammer, pliers, and a small screwdriver bit set. I’m anxious about them turning up because I need them for a deadline this week and I rely on them for small repairs around the flat. If someone finds them, please contact me through the site so we can arrange a safe handover near the station or at the museum.

Appliances lost in Coventry city centre

I came home at 3:40 p.m. on Sunday to find my appliances missing from the communal hallway of my flat on Hertford Street, Coventry. I walked toward the Belgrade Theatre and the Cathedral ruins, hoping I’d left them in the laundry or that a neighbour had moved them, but nothing turned up. The items are a silver kettle, a compact microwave, and a toaster—the kind of basics that make a home run. The loss is frustrating and a little worrying, but I’m hopeful someone who found them will do the right thing.

Shopping bags lost near Coventry Cathedral

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson. I lost my shopping bags around 2:15 p.m. on Friday outside Coventry Cathedral, near Priory Street and Belgrade Plaza. I’d just finished a quick charity shop run and must have set them down for a moment; when I turned around, they were gone. The bags held my daily essentials: a reusable tote, some invoices, and a grandmother’s scarf that means a lot to me. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’m really hoping someone picked them up by mistake and will hand them in. The square was loud with church bells and shoppers, and now I’m left counting pennies and praying they turn up.

LOST: Driver's License in Coventry

This morning around 9:40 I realized my driver's license was missing somewhere around Coventry Cathedral. I last used it to buy a coffee on Market Street near the cathedral cafe, and I think I dropped it in a hurry while rummaging through my bag. It’s a standard blue plastic card with my name and address, and losing it has left me anxious about upcoming appointments and travel. If someone finds it, I would be grateful if it could be posted here so we can arrange a safe return.
