Appliances lost in Coventry city centre

I came home at 3:40 p.m. on Sunday to find my appliances missing from the communal hallway of my flat on Hertford Street, Coventry. I walked toward the Belgrade Theatre and the Cathedral ruins, hoping I’d left them in the laundry or that a neighbour had moved them, but nothing turned up. The items are a silver kettle, a compact microwave, and a toaster—the kind of basics that make a home run. The loss is frustrating and a little worrying, but I’m hopeful someone who found them will do the right thing.

Shopping bags lost near Coventry Cathedral

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson. I lost my shopping bags around 2:15 p.m. on Friday outside Coventry Cathedral, near Priory Street and Belgrade Plaza. I’d just finished a quick charity shop run and must have set them down for a moment; when I turned around, they were gone. The bags held my daily essentials: a reusable tote, some invoices, and a grandmother’s scarf that means a lot to me. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’m really hoping someone picked them up by mistake and will hand them in. The square was loud with church bells and shoppers, and now I’m left counting pennies and praying they turn up.

LOST: Driver's License in Coventry

This morning around 9:40 I realized my driver's license was missing somewhere around Coventry Cathedral. I last used it to buy a coffee on Market Street near the cathedral cafe, and I think I dropped it in a hurry while rummaging through my bag. It’s a standard blue plastic card with my name and address, and losing it has left me anxious about upcoming appointments and travel. If someone finds it, I would be grateful if it could be posted here so we can arrange a safe return.

Lost Brooches near Coventry Cathedral, UK

I was leaving Coventry Cathedral around 3:40 p.m. last Friday after a stroll through the Priory Garden when I realized my brooches were missing from my coat pocket. The set includes a small silver knot with a blue gem and a brass butterfly—both gifts from my grandmother that mean a lot to me. I retraced my steps along Priory Row and near Broadgate, asking a couple of shop staff if they’d seen them. They’re sentimental keepsakes, and I’d be overjoyed to have them back in the right hands.

Missing person: 16-year-old Maya Singh in Coventry

I'm really worried—my sister Maya Singh, 16, has gone missing. She has shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, about 5'3", and was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the Coventry Cathedral steps, walking toward Broadgate along Greyfriars Road. She was wearing a light grey hoodie with a small red heart on the chest, black joggers, white sneakers, and she carries a bright blue backpack with a panda keychain. She also has a tiny crescent-moon tattoo on her left inner wrist, a unique identifying feature. If anyone sees her, please contact me immediately; I'm desperate to bring her home and she has sentimental value to our family.

Korg minilogue xd synth lost near Fargo Village, Coventry

I lost my Korg minilogue xd, 37-key analog/digital synthesizer, black body with a silver panel. I lost it yesterday around 3pm, somewhere around Fargo Village by the Coventry Canal. It's in good condition, just a few light scratches on the right edge and a tiny dent on the bottom; there's a bright blue sticker on the back that reads 'Studio A'. It's my main gig synth and has sentimental value, so I'm really hoping to get it back—if anyone finds it, please drop a message here.
