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 Memphis 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 Memphis in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost drums near Beale Street Landing, Memphis

I was headed home after rehearsal, around 7:30 PM, and parked by Beale Street Landing. When I got back to my vehicle, I realized my four-piece drums were gone from the back seat; it's a red bass drum, two toms, and a snare, all in mismatched cases. The bags are scuffed and marked with my initials 'M.R.' in white paint. I’m anxious and frustrated—these drums are my livelihood and a big part of my life. If someone found them, please try to return them through the site; they mean the world to us.

Lost satchels near Beale Street, Memphis

On Friday, October 18 at 6:45 p.m., I left my satchels on a bench outside the Orpheum Theatre near Beale Street in Memphis. I turned around to snap a quick photo of the neon signs and when I looked back, they were gone. The bags are dark brown leather with brass buckles, and one has a small green scarf sticking out of the zipper pocket. Inside I kept my journal, important papers, and a few photos from college that mean a lot to me. I’m shaken and hopeful someone picked them up and will recognize the contents—these aren’t just bags, they’re memories.

lost: Equipment for Various Sports in Memphis near Beale Street

I lost my Equipment for Various Sports around 6:15 pm Friday at Tom Lee Park in Memphis, Tennessee, after a casual game. I had set my dark navy duffel down near the basketball courts while I tied my sneakers, and when I turned back it was gone. Inside was a mix of gear—a worn tennis racket, a pair of training shoes, and a well-loved basketball—nothing flashy, but each piece mattered to me. I’m sick thinking about replacing it, and I keep hoping someone who picked it up will bring it back to the park office where I’d be able to claim it.

Lost pocket watch near Tom Lee Park, Memphis

I lost my pocket watch last Friday around 6:40 p.m. while walking along the riverwalk near Tom Lee Park in Memphis. It's a brass pocket watch with an ivory dial and a small engraving on the back, 'J.M.', and it means a lot to me as a family heirloom. I retraced the path along the riverfront, checked the benches by the overlook, and even peeked near the small fountain by the promenade, but it wasn't there. If someone picked it up, I’d be grateful to have it back; it’s more than just a timepiece, it connects me to my grandfather.
