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 Knoxville 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 Knoxville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Knoxville

I lost my holiday decorations on Saturday around 3:45 p.m. while unloading boxes from the car in front of my apartment near Market Square in downtown Knoxville. I had popped into a bakery on Gay Street for cookies and returned to the car to find them missing. They’re sentimental keepsakes from my grandmother, bright colors and a few chipped ornaments that carry our family stories. If they turned up anywhere around Market Square or Gay Street, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

Brown leather Fossil wallet with IDs

I lost my brown leather Fossil wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Market Square fountain on Market Street in Knoxville. It's a compact bifold, dark brown with lighter tan stitching, about the size of a credit card, and has a tiny red thread snag on the inner pocket. I keep my driver's license, a red gym membership card, and a photo of my niece in there. There's a coffee stain on the back corner and a small, almost invisible scratch by the Fossil logo. It was a gift from my sister and means a lot to me; I'm really hoping someone picked it up and can return it.

Red Yamaha snare drum with chrome hardware

I lost my red Yamaha Stage Custom snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, maple shell with a glossy cherry red finish. It has a few scuffs along the shell and a small dent near the bottom edge, plus a blue dragon sticker on the inside label and a 'Play Loud' sticker on the throw-off. I last had it yesterday around 3pm after a rehearsal in Market Square, walking along Gay Street toward the Knoxville Visitors Center. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my mentor last year and carries sentimental value. I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me here and we can arrange pickup.

Black Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers

I'm Priya Patel and I lost my black Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers yesterday around 3pm. They're a size 9 and have a small scuff on the toe plus a crease along the side; the left shoe wears a bright red replacement lace. I was wandering around Market Square in downtown Knoxville, near the gazebo and the coffee shop, and I think I dropped them near the benches or by the bike racks. The right shoe has a tiny blue sticker on the inside heel, and the loss feels sentimental because they were a gift from my grandmother; I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me find them.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons

I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED, a gaming device with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, yesterday around 3pm near Market Square in Knoxville. It's in a black silicone case with a small panda sticker on the back and a screen protector peeling at the corner. The console is in good condition, just a couple of light scratches on the bezel from daily travel. It’s really important to me because it holds saved progress from years of weekend sessions and it has sentimental value after a tough year. If anyone found it, I can meet at the Regal Downtown Knoxville or near the Market Square fountain to pick it up and I’d be forever grateful.
