  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.

  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 Valdosta in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Holiday Decorations in Valdosta

Hi, I’m Sofia Bennett. I lost my holiday decorations—a red-and-green box with string lights, a few fragile glass ornaments, and a handmade paper star—last Friday around 7:45 p.m. I was unloading the box from my car in the parking lot behind the Valdosta Mall on North Patterson Street when a gust of wind carried it away. It’s the centerpiece of our block party, and I’m heartbroken thinking someone might have rescued it thinking it’s trash. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful.

Lost passport near Valdosta Mall, last seen this morning.

I lost my passport while I was in town for a conference. At 8:45 this morning I was in the Valdosta Mall parking lot near the food court, digging through a tote for a receipt and noticed it was missing. I feel panicked because I have an international trip next week, and every minute counts. I retraced steps along the stores, the benches by the fountain, and the entrance to the movie theater, but I came up empty. If someone found it, please return it to the mall Lost and Found so it can get back to me.

Lost saxophones near Valdosta Mall

I was packing up after a rehearsal at 7:45 p.m. Friday outside the Valdosta Mall on Baytree Road when I realized my saxophones were missing from their cases. I own two saxophones—the alto with a dent on the bell and the tenor with a chipped key—cherished instruments I've played since college. I retraced my steps from the bookstore to the coffee shop and back toward the parking lot, calling out to folks I passed, but I didn’t see them. These instruments carry years of memories and late-night jam sessions; if you saw anyone with two saxophones near the mall, please help me bring them home.

Lost Postcards in Valdosta

Friday at 11:40 a.m., I was wandering downtown Valdosta along Patterson Street after grabbing a coffee at Morning Market. A stack of postcards—keepsakes from a Georgia coast road trip, scattered with stamps from Savannah to St. Simons—slipped from my tote and vanished into the crowd near the Lowndes County Courthouse. They aren’t valuable, but they carry memories of my grandmother and the letters we used to swap on rainy days. I’ve walked the length of Patterson Street, the Market block, and the square hoping someone picked them up. They’re a small piece of home and I’d be grateful to have them back in Valdosta.

lost hats near Valdosta Mall

I was grabbing a quick bite and chatting with a friend near the Valdosta Mall parking lot at 5:40 p.m. Friday when I realized my hats were gone. I own two: a gray knit beanie and a red baseball cap with a small black logo. I’d tucked them into my tote while I waited for my ride, and I must have left them on a bench near the entrance as the evening got busy. Those hats carry memory for me—road trips with my grandmother and the little jokes we shared on the drive down 75. If you found them, I’d be grateful to see them back as soon as possible.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports outside Valdosta Mall

I realized I left my Equipment for Various Sports bag outside the Valdosta Mall around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, near the entrance by the food court. Inside are a basketball, a spare pair of cleats, and a whistle, all in a blue duffel with a red stripe. I’ve been searching the benches and nearby storefronts, hoping someone picked it up and handed it in. This gear is for my kids’ weekend league, and losing it has us scrambling; it would mean the world to recover it.
