I was out yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on High Street in Colchester, Essex when I must have set my glasses down and walked off without them. They are matte black acetate frames with a subtle cat-eye shape, roughly medium size, and the left temple has the initials 'N.R.' engraved inside. There's a small scratch on the upper rim and a brown faux-leather case with a tiny crease; the case was tucked in my bag, but I think it might have fallen out. These glasses are my daily pair and they have sentimental value since they were a gift from my grandmother. I’m really hoping someone picked them up and can help me get them back.
I lost my blue and white Ventolin inhaler yesterday around 3pm outside the main entrance of Colchester General Hospital in Essex on Turner Road. It was tucked in a light-blue silicone sleeve with my initials 'PP' written in black marker on the sleeve. The inhaler is small, a bit worn, with a few scuffs on the cap, but it still works and I really need it back for daily asthma management. This inhaler is essential for me, and losing it makes me anxious about a flare-up—any help would mean a lot. If anyone found it, please message me and I can confirm the sleeve details and initials to verify it's mine.
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near Castle Park, by the bandstand and duck pond in Colchester, Essex. It's a small reptile, about 4 inches long, with a pale yellow body and brown spots. It has a tiny blue dot near the base of its tail and a slightly kinked tail from a previous injury. It lives in a clear 12x6 inch terrarium with a black lid, and I must have left the lid slightly loose while I was at the park. This gecko is beloved by my daughter and has sentimental value to us; I would really appreciate it if you could reach out so we can bring our little friend back home.
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near Southend Victoria Station in Essex. They’re on a bright red nylon lanyard with a small brass compass charm and a blue plastic key fob that says 'Home'. There are four keys in total, including the front door and a spare car key. The lanyard is a bit frayed from daily use, and the compass charm is slightly bent but still functional. This set has sentimental value because the keys were a gift from my mum, and I really need them back to get into my flat after work.
I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 4pm near the Mercury Theatre on the High Street in Colchester, Essex. It's a slim sterling-silver piece with a tiny turquoise bead near the clasp and a heart charm engraved with the initial 'L' on the back. The bracelet is a bit scratched from daily wear, but the clasp still works and it sits comfortably on the wrist. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year. If anyone found it, send me a message and we can sort out a pickup.
I found a black Garmin smartwatch with a bright blue silicone strap this afternoon around 3:45pm in the car park behind Colchester Castle in Essex. It's in decent condition, a few light scratches on the screen and a minor scuff on the bezel. The back has a small engraving that reads 'M.K. 04/08', and the strap holes are a touch stretched from regular wear. The watch is about 42mm with a rugged, sporty look and the Garmin logo is clearly visible on the face. If you recognize it, drop me a message here and we’ll arrange a safe handover to the owner.
I found a black leather bifold wallet this afternoon around 4:15pm outside WHSmith on Head Street in Colchester, Essex. It's fairly worn, about the size of a standard wallet, with a small scuff on the bottom corner and a thin red stitching along the inner edge. Inside there is a Colchester Library card and a loyalty card for a local cafe, plus a tiny dinosaur sticker on one of the cards. There's also a photo tucked near the ID pocket. Wallet seems to have sentimental value, and I'd really like to get it back to its owner. If you're the owner, message me with the name on your license and we'll figure out a pickup near there.
Found a blue nylon dog harness this afternoon around 4pm outside the Tesco Express on High Street, Colchester, Essex. It's a size medium with a bright reflective strip along the back, orange piping, and a small pink paw-print patch on the chest strap. The fabric is clean, with a tiny fray on the edge from daily walks. It doesn't have an ID tag, so no owner details, but I know how stressful it is to misplace a pet's stuff—hope to reunite it with its owner. If this is yours, drop me a note here with a description of your dog's name or other distinguishing mark, and we can arrange a pickup nearby.
I found a red Hohner Special 20 harmonica this morning around 9:15am in a blue zippered pouch, lying on the pavement near Castle Park by the High Street entrance in Colchester, Essex. The harmonica is used but in decent shape, with a few surface scratches and a tiny dent near hole 6; the red plastic comb is visible, and the pouch has a white star embroidery and a zipper pull engraved with the initials AM. It probably belongs to someone who busked or practiced here, and it feels sentimental because it might have been a gift or a memory from a gig. If this sounds like yours, message me and we can arrange a quick pickup near Colchester town centre.
I found a white iPad with a blue silicone case this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Tesco on High Street in Chelmsford, Essex. The screen is clean and bright, with just a tiny crack along the bottom left corner and a faint scratch near the home button. The wallpaper shows a cheerful dog photo, and the case has a small dent near the bottom edge—easy to spot if you know your device well. I'm keeping it safe and hoping to reunite it with its owner soon since it likely holds personal photos or notes. If it's yours, tell me a detail only you'd know, and I'll arrange a quick handover.
