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 Danville 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 Danville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost brooches in downtown Danville

I was in Danville on Saturday around 2:45 p.m., browsing the Center Street Market when I must have set my two vintage brooches down on a display shelf. They’re sentimental keepsakes—one has a blue enamel butterfly, the other a daisy cluster with tiny clear stones. I stepped outside toward the Main Street fountain to check my map and when I returned, they were gone. I’m keeping everything crossed that someone found them and kept them safe; these pieces belonged to my grandmother and carry so many memories.

LOST hats on West Main Street, Danville

Today at 3:45 p.m., I left my three hats on a bench outside the Danville Farmers Market on West Main Street, near Burke Street. I had been strolling along the Riverwalk with my kids and stopped for a quick ice cream break, and the hats were there when we turned to go. By the time we circled back, the bench was empty and the hats were gone. They’re not just straw and fabric; one is a faded baseball cap from my high school team, and the others were gifts from my sister. I’m hoping someone honest found them and turned them in.

Lost quilts near Riverwalk, Danville, VA

Hi—I'm really hoping someone found my quilts. I was at the Danville Riverfront area by Riverside Park around 2:45 p.m. last Saturday, and I left the two handmade quilts on the back seat of my blue pickup while I ran a quick errand at the Main Street Market. When I came back, they were gone. One quilt is cream with blue patchwork; the other has a soft pink border and a small star pattern. They’re precious to me because my grandmother made them, and I’m holding onto hope that someone picked them up for safekeeping.

Lost handheld and console in Danville downtown.

Last Friday at 7:22 PM, I was wandering along Main Street in Danville, near the Riverwalk by the Dan River, when I realized my handheld and console were missing from my backpack. I had sat on a bench outside a coffee shop for a moment, then a gust and a crowd pulled my attention away. The handheld is black with a blue grip; the console is a compact unit with a small dent in the corner. I use it to unwind after late shifts, and losing it hit hard. If someone found it, I hope it finds its way back to its owner.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Danville

I was finishing up a run at Ballou Park in Danville last Tuesday around 6:10 p.m. when I realized my equipment for various sports had vanished from the bench by the basketball courts. It was a mixed lot—shin guards, a pair of well-worn sneakers, a rolled-up yoga mat, and a few other odds and ends I rely on for workouts. I retraced my steps along the path and checked with other runners, hoping someone had simply picked it up for me, but nothing turned up. This equipment means a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have it back before the next practice.

Lost dolls in Danville, Virginia, near Dan Daniel Memorial Park

I lost my dolls while walking home from a friend's house yesterday at around 5:40 PM. I had tucked them in a pink tote as I headed down Main Street toward Dan Daniel Memorial Park. By the time I reached the riverfront, the tote was lighter, and I realized the dolls were missing—two small porcelain dolls with chipped cheeks and frilly dresses. They were gifts from my grandmother and hold a lot of memory for my little sister, who starts third grade tomorrow and already misses them. If you found them, please drop a note on the site; I’ll be checking as soon as I can.
