Description
Last night, around 8:30 PM, I realized my handheld and console were missing after a walk along the River Wensum by Norwich Castle. I retraced my steps from Tombland toward Castle Meadow, hoping the glow of the screens would catch someone’s eye, but I came up empty. The handheld is a compact black device and the console is a small gray unit I use to unwind after shifts at the market. These things aren’t just gadgets to me; they’re tied to plans for weekends away and quiet evenings by the Norfolk Broads, and I’m desperate to have them back.

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.
