Lost scarves near Overgate Centre, Dundee
Description
Isla MacLeod here. I lost a pair of scarves on Saturday around 4:15 pm while walking from Dundee railway station toward the Overgate Centre. The scarves are sentimental: one is charcoal wool with a simple fringe, the other is pale blue knitted with tiny paisley patterns; they’re both thin but warm enough for an autumn wind. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I wore them almost daily. I checked the escalators and the bus stops outside the Overgate, but they’ve vanished into the crowd. If anyone spots them draped over a bench or left behind in a shop, please keep them safe. They mean a lot to me.

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.
