Description
Outside Belfast City Hall on Donegall Square North, around 8:40 PM I realized my two brass lamps with green glass shades were missing from the bench where I stopped to check our meeting point. They’re small, with a delicate leaf motif and a warm glow that reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen. I’d bought them for her birthday years ago, and they’ve traveled with me through many moves. It’s strange not having them; I keep scanning the street lamps and waiting for a glimpse of them on a passerby’s doorstep. I’m hopeful a kind stranger held onto them until they’re found.

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.
