If you have
lost an item in a Toronto cab and can’t remember the cab company, we
recommend contacting each of the major companies (you can do this via
416-TAXICAB).
It helps if you can recall the colour of the vehicle, as it’s easier to
identify the taxi company; however, many Toronto cabs are
independent. Some common vehicle colours are: Green/orange - Beck
Taxi; Dark Blue – Royal Taxi; Yellow with blue checker – Crown
Taxi; Light Blue – Maple Taxi or Kingsboro Taxi; Red
– City Taxi; Yellow – Yellow Cab; Black/orange
– Diamond Taxi.
Toronto cab drivers and companies will often turn lost items over to the police. To check if they have your item, call 416-808-3750 (Property and Evidence Unit – Toronto Police).
Items lost at or on the way to Toronto Pearson Airport might be turned in at the airport’s Lost & Found offices. The number for Terminal 1 and 2 Lost & Found is 416-776-7749 or 416-776-7750. The number for Terminal 3 Lost & Found is 416-776-7751.
