Description
LOST: I was sorting a few planks in the Cathedral Quarter near Belfast City Hall around 6:20 p.m. yesterday, and when I turned around, several hand tools had vanished from a work bucket in the back of my van. The haul included a red-handled screwdriver, a claw hammer, a tape measure, and a small adjustable wrench—things I use every weekend on small repairs. They aren’t valuable to anyone else, but they’re priceless to me and my father who taught me to fix things. If someone picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
