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 Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost passports in Winston-Salem.

I realized at 9:15 this morning that my passports were missing. I’d had them in a white leather tote outside the Benton Convention Center in downtown Winston-Salem while I checked in for a conference. I remember half-heartedly tugging at my sleeve, looking away for a moment, and then they were gone. This travel date is looming, and the whole thing is panicky but hopeful—if someone found them, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost medication near Wake Forest Baptist, Winston-Salem

Yesterday at 8:45 a.m., I realized my daily medication was missing from my purse as I stood outside the main entrance of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on Patterson Avenue. A gust must have knocked the bottle from my coat pocket, and I searched the sidewalk and the taxi stand area, but it didn't turn up. The bottle is small, the label worn, and I need it to manage my mornings. I'm anxious and a bit frightened about missing doses, especially with a busy week ahead. If you happened to see a small bottle near the hospital entrance, I'd be grateful for its return.

Lost terrariums near Reynolda Gardens, Winston-Salem

Yesterday at 3:15 p.m., I left two glass terrariums on a bench near the Reynolda Gardens gate while I paused to photograph a row of succulents. When I circled back along the winding path behind Reynolda House, they were gone. One terrarium holds a tiny fern and moss; the other contains a wee dragon figurine perched among pebbles. These were gifts from a friend, and losing them hurts, especially since they reminded me of our weekend wanderings in Winston-Salem and the little plants we cared for together.

LOST: Saxophones in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m., after a quick rehearsal at the Stevens Center in downtown Winston-Salem, I realized my saxophones were missing from my locker. They’re two horns—the alto with a dent near the bell and a silver tenor with a scratched neck—both tucked inside black gig bags. I rely on them for an upcoming recital, and the thought of being unable to practice chills me. I retraced every hallway, checked the loading dock, and asked staff, but there’s no sign of them yet. If you saw two horn cases by the Stevens Center entrance, I’d be grateful if you could let me know through the site so I can bring them home.

Lost rabbits near Reynolda Gardens, Winston-Salem

I realized my rabbits were gone after a walk near Reynolda Gardens in Winston-Salem yesterday around 6:20 p.m. There are two: a white rabbit with black ears and a smaller brown one with a soft gray patch. I last saw them near the pond behind Reynolda House and must have drifted off the path while I paused to tie my shoes. My heart sank as the sun set and the streetlamps flickered along Reynolda Road. If you’ve seen them, they’re friendly and respond to soft voices and a gentle whistle.

Lost Hoops near Bailey Park, Winston-Salem, NC

Hey, I’m Caleb Moore. I realized my hoops were missing around 6:40 p.m. yesterday while I was strolling near Bailey Park in downtown Winston-Salem, heading toward the Stevens Center. They’re a pair of simple silver hoops with a tiny scratch on the back clasp, the kind I wear every day. I’m attached to them—they were a gift—and I’m heartbroken imagining them left behind on a bench or dropped in a flower bed. If you happened to see a pair lying on the sidewalk near the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter or the Stevens Center, I’d appreciate it if you could share through the site.
