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 Dundee 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 Dundee in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Guitars in Dundee, near Wellgate

I was walking home from a rehearsal around 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, and my two guitars slipped from my strap near Wellgate Shopping Centre. I retraced every step along Nethergate and into High Street, but the dim streetlights and crowds made them vanish from sight. One is a black electric guitar with a few scratches; the other is a sunburst acoustic with a couple of gig stickers. If this is yours or you saw them, please message through the site so I can verify ownership and arrange their return.

Lost Chairs near V&A Dundee – please help me find them.

I was wrapping up a small charity bake sale outside the V&A Dundee on Friday at 6:45 pm when I noticed my folding chairs were missing. They were set up on the pavement near the entrance, by the river path, just behind the museum's glass façade. The chairs are light-brown wood with woven seats and a few nicks from past events. These chairs aren’t just furniture to me; they’ve carried family gatherings and community moments, and I’m anxious to get them back where they belong.

LOST: Paintings near V&A Dundee

This afternoon, around 2:45 PM, I was strolling along the River Tay by the V&A Dundee's riverside entrance when two framed paintings slipped from under my arm. One shows a sunset over the water, the other a misty harbor scene with gulls. I paused to check directions at the riverside cafe, and when I turned back, they were gone. I’m unsettled because those works were gifts and remind me of a trip with my grandmother. If anyone saw them, I’d be grateful they’ve turned up.

Lost wrist watches in Dundee, United Kingdom

Yesterday at 2:15 PM I realized my wrist watches were missing from my jacket pocket while strolling Dundee City Centre. I had started at the McManus Galleries and wandered toward V&A Dundee along Riverside Drive, pausing at Slessor Gardens to check my map. There are two watches: one with a silver face and a light-blue dial, the other with a black leather strap and a white face. They were gifts from my dad and carry years of small memories; losing them feels like losing a piece of home, and I’d be grateful if someone found them and kept them safe until I can collect them near the river.

lost utensils from my kitchen after Monday dinner in Dundee.

At 7:42 p.m. last Friday I was tidying the kitchen in my flat on Perth Road when I realized my utensils had vanished from the drawer. The set is small but dear to me—a dented wooden spoon, a chipped metal whisk, and a faded red spatula I inherited from my gran. I checked the shelves and even searched around Baxter Park, but nothing turned up. Those pieces are tied to quiet Sunday roasts and late-night recipes that keep me company in this flat. If you saw them around the Overgate Centre area, please keep an eye out.

Lost scarves near Overgate Centre, Dundee

Isla MacLeod here. I lost a pair of scarves on Saturday around 4:15 pm while walking from Dundee railway station toward the Overgate Centre. The scarves are sentimental: one is charcoal wool with a simple fringe, the other is pale blue knitted with tiny paisley patterns; they’re both thin but warm enough for an autumn wind. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I wore them almost daily. I checked the escalators and the bus stops outside the Overgate, but they’ve vanished into the crowd. If anyone spots them draped over a bench or left behind in a shop, please keep them safe. They mean a lot to me.
