Description
On Tuesday, around 4:15 p.m., I was walking along Riverside Walk by the V&A Dundee when I spotted a big, weather-stained bag stuffed with assorted sports gear: a football, two tennis rackets, a water bottle, and a dusty gym bag. I checked for a name tag, but nothing obvious. It looked like someone had left it behind after a weekend game by the river. I carried it to the City Council’s lost-and-found desk and explained what I found, hoping its owner would recover it soon. It felt like the right thing to do, and I didn’t want those items to go wandering again.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
