Lost sculptures near Exeter city center
I lost my sculptures last Tuesday around 5:45 pm while wandering Fore Street after a small local art pop-up in Exeter. The pieces are two bronze sculptures, about 20 cm tall, with clean geometric shapes and a weathered patina. I set them down briefly to take a photo by Exeter Cathedral, and when I looked back they were gone. They mean a lot to me—one was a gift from a mentor, the other a study piece I’d saved for years. I’d be grateful to anyone who finds them; I’m hoping the owner sees this listing and knows I’m looking for them.
LOST USB Drives in Devon & Cornwall
I lost my USB drives at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, after a quick coffee at a café near Exeter Cathedral. They’re two slim drives in a blue sleeve labeled Q3 and Notes. They hold important notes for a project, and losing them feels stressful. They were last seen on the table outside Exeter Central Library, near Cathedral Close.
Lost: Toasters in Devon & Cornwall
Last Tuesday around 8:15 p.m., I was by Exeter Cathedral on North Street when I realised my two toasters had vanished from the bag I’d left on the bench. One is a retro red toaster with chrome detailing, the other is a cream toaster with a faded floral pattern. They’re dear to me because they were a gift from my mum, and replacing them would be a real hassle. If anyone has seen them, please let the site know so they can be reunited with their owner.
LOST: organizers in Devon & Cornwall, United Kingdom
Hi, I'm Harriet Collins. I lost my organizers while walking along the South West Coast Path near Dawlish Warren, around 4:15 PM on Friday. They were in a small tote bag, dropped near the sea wall by the railway line, and I’ve been anxious about them since. Inside are travel plans and reminders for work and family; I’d hate to lose them. I’d be grateful to be reunited with them through this site, so if anyone picked them up, please know I’m hoping they’re safe and can be returned.
Found photographs near Plymouth railway station
While leaving Exeter St Davids station around 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I found a bundle of photographs lying on the pavement near the station entrance. They look like family photos from the 1980s, tucked in a faded album with a few loose prints. I slipped them into my bag and carried them toward the ticket hall, thinking someone must be worried about lost memories. If these belong to someone, I hope they’ll be reunited through the system; photographs like these deserve to be seen by the people in them.
lost holiday decorations: garlands and baubles from Cornwall home.
On Friday 8 December, around 7:45 pm, I lost my bag of holiday decorations from the living room of my flat on Fore Street in St Ives, Cornwall. The garlands with silver tinsel and a dozen red-and-green baubles were meant for the village Christmas display at the parish hall this weekend. I last set them on the coffee table at 7:30 pm, while I watched the waves from the window overlooking Porthminster Beach. It aches to think they might be tucked somewhere in the house or behind a curtain, and I keep replaying every moment I moved them. If you’ve seen a bag matching this description, please contact through the site.
Navy blue handbag with gold hardware
Found a navy blue leather handbag yesterday around 3:15pm outside the Co-op on Fore Street in Newquay, Cornwall. It's a compact tote about 25cm wide by 15cm high, with gold hardware and a detachable strap, plus a little compass charm on the zipper. The front has a subtle white diagonal stripe that helps it stand out. Inside there’s a fabric lining, a pink lipstick lid, and a small cardholder with the initials 'A.L.' I’ll happily return it to its owner—send a message here and we can arrange a safe handoff after a quick check of the contents.
Found brown suede ankle boots with buckle
Found a pair of brown suede ankle boots this afternoon around 3:15pm, sitting on the pavement along Mayflower Street by the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. They’re size 6, women's, branded Clarks, and they’ve got a distinctive brass buckle on the outer side with a faint blue stitch along the heel seam. The left boot is a touch darker than the right, and there’s a small scuff on the toe from wear. They were next to the bike racks by the cafe near the Mayflower Steps, so I figured someone might be missing them after a stroll along the waterfront. If these look familiar, send me a message and we can arrange returning them.
Le Creuset orange casserole found near Mayflower Steps
Found a Le Creuset 3-quart orange casserole dish this afternoon around 4:15 pm outside the Barbican Hall by Mayflower Steps in Plymouth, Devon, in the Devon & Cornwall region. It's in great condition overall, with the bright Marseille orange enamel and a small chip on the rim of the lid, plus a faint tomato stain on the interior. The bottom bears the classic Le Creuset stamp and 3 qt marking. It was resting on a bench by the pedestrianized area near the steps, tucked next to a reusable shopping bag. If this pan was a gift or holds sentimental value, please describe the chip and the stamp so we can reunite it with its owner.
Keys with green paracord and blue tag
I found a set of keys this morning around 7:50am in the car park behind the Eden Project in St Blazey, Cornwall. They are on a sturdy metal keyring with a bright green paracord loop and a blue enamel tag etched with the initials JT. There is a mix of home and car keys, plus a tiny flashlight keychain that rattles when shaken. I will hold onto them near the visitor center and can meet somewhere nearby or hand them to Lost & Found staff in the Cornwall area if someone claims them.
Blue contact lens case lost near Barbican
I lost my blue contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Barbican area in Plymouth, in the Devon & Cornwall region. It's a small oval case about the size of a lemon, blue with a white lid, and the left compartment has a tiny dent. There's a sticky label on the bottom with my initials 'PP' and a faded RX sticker I put there years ago. It means a lot to me because the lenses help me see clearly after long shifts, and I really need it back. If you found it anywhere around the Barbican, Sutton Harbour, or the Drake Circus, please drop me a message.
University ID card with blue lanyard
I lost my university ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Barbican area by the Plymouth Hoe in Devon & Cornwall. It's a standard laminated card with my photo and name, attached to a blue lanyard. There’s a small coffee stain on the bottom left corner and a tiny scratch across the photo—easy to spot if you’re searching. This card is essential for campus access and library entry, and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop a note here—thank you.
Neon yellow Nike swim shorts with initials
Lost my neon yellow Nike swim shorts, size M, yesterday around 3pm near Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. They're quick-dry mesh with a black waistband and an orange drawstring; the left leg has a small white wave stitch. Inside the waistband there are blue initials 'AJ' stitched on; there’s a tiny 1 cm tear along the inner lining by the pocket from a tumble. They were a gift from my coach and mean a lot to me, especially for summer training. I’d really appreciate them being found—they fit perfectly and I’ve worn them for years.
Salmon-pink dog harness with bone tag
I lost my salmon-pink dog harness with a small silver bone-shaped tag engraved 'Milo' yesterday around 3pm near the cafe outside the Royal Cornwall Museum on River Street in Truro, Devon & Cornwall. It's a Pawfect Fit nylon harness, size adjustable, with bright lime-green reflective trim and a few scuffs from daily use. Milo and I were walking along the riverfront when he darted after a butterfly, and the harness slipped off. The tag reads 'MILO' and the fabric has a tiny coffee stain on the strap—it's simple, but it's the one that fits him best and it's got sentimental value because Milo is a rescue we adopted last year. If you see it, send me a note here; I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Nintendo Switch OLED Neon Red/Blue Joy-Cons
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Nintendo Switch OLED was missing. I was near the Drake Circus shopping centre in Plymouth, just outside a little kebab shop and the bus stop. It’s the neon red/blue Joy-Con model with a white dock and a black silicone case. There’s a panda sticker on the back and a neon-green screen protector I’d added for fun. I’ve got a ton of saved games and a couple of photos from trips, so it feels really important to me. If someone found it, please drop me a message—I’d be so grateful to get it back.
