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 Document Holders near Market Square, Knoxville

On Monday at 4:50 PM, I realized my Document Holders were missing after I stepped out from Market Square and checked my bag for the papers I’d meant to review before heading home. They were tucked in the outer zipper pocket of my black tote, the one with a small red thread I stitched years ago. Inside the holders were a few travel papers and a photo ID; I rely on them daily, and losing them threw off my entire evening routine. I’ve retraced my steps along the brick path around the square and paused near the old City County Building, hoping a passerby who picked them up saw the distinctive stitching and did the right thing.

Lost equipment for various sports in Knoxville

I lost equipment for various sports around 10:45 AM today near Market Square in Knoxville, not far from the Sunsphere. It’s a black and blue duffel bag packed with shin guards, a basketball, a tennis racket, and a water bottle—the kind of stuff that teams rely on for Saturday practice. It’s more than gear for me; it’s for my kid’s weekend games, and I’m really hoping it turns up. Please keep an eye out for a bag like this and check the listing here if anything matches.

Lost flutes near Market Square, Knoxville

I lost my flutes after a late rehearsal outside the Tennessee Theatre on Gay Street near Market Square, around 9:15 PM last Friday. The two wooden flutes were in a light-blue case and meant everything to me as I prepare for a recital. I retraced my steps along the brick sidewalks, but they were nowhere to be found. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be forever grateful and hopeful they’ll find their way back to me.

LOST CDs near Market Square, Knoxville

I was at Market Square in Knoxville around 6:45 p.m. last Friday, after leaving a coffee shop, when I realized my CDs were missing from a black tote I’d left on a chair near the Market Square fountain. The tote held a mix of rock and classical discs, all in slim cases with a few cover sleeves showing. There isn’t much else to go on, but these CDs are special to me, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan turned them in here. If this sounds like yours, please check the listing on the site.
