I’ve lost an item in a taxi; how can I recover it?

If you have lost an item in a Toronto taxi and can’t remember the cab company, we recommend contacting each of the major taxi companies (you can do this via 416-TAXICAB).
It helps if you can recall the colour of the taxi, as it’s easier to identify the taxi company; however, may Toronto taxi cabs are independent. Some common taxi colours are: Green/orange - Beck Taxi; Dark Blue – Royal Taxi; Silver – Crown Taxi; Light Blue – Maple Taxi or Kingsboro Taxi; Red – City Taxi; Yellow – Yellow Cab; Black/orange – Diamond Taxi.

Toronto taxi 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.
