I lost my white duvet cover set with pale blue piping from the Linen Loft line. It's a queen-size duvet cover, bright white with a neat row of pale blue piping along the edges, and there's a tiny coffee stain near the bottom corner from last weekend. I think I last had it yesterday around 3pm when I was changing my bed at my flat on High Street in Colchester, Essex, near the Co-op and the bus stop. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my late grandmother, and I'm really hoping to get it back.
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my university student ID card was missing. It’s a standard University of Essex student ID on a bright red lanyard, kept in a clear blue sleeve. I think I last had it near Colchester Library on High Street, outside the cafe, before I walked home. The photo on the card shows me in a gray hoodie, and there's a tiny scratch along the lower-right corner with a blue sticker on the back as a distinctive mark. This card is my key to lectures, the library, and campus facilities, so I really need it back. If you find it, hit me up at [email protected] and I’ll arrange to pick it up from Colchester Library or a nearby spot as soon as possible.
I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the Marks & Spencer on Southend High Street in Chelmsford, Essex. It's a brown calfskin bifold with a small blue stitch along the left edge and a photo window where a faded picture of my grandma sits. Inside are my driver's license, a few debit cards, and about £25 in cash. It’s really sentimental to me because it was a gift from my mom, and I’m worried about what it’ll mean without it. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
I lost my blue UK passport yesterday around 3pm near the Chelmsford train station on Duke Street, outside Costa Coffee. The passport is a deep blue with a gold royal crest on the cover, a bit bent at the bottom-right corner, and the pages inside are a touch worn from travel. There’s a small travel-clinic sticker on the inside cover and a faint coffee stain along the edge from a long trip last month. I have an upcoming international trip and really need it back; it's the only form of ID I have right now, and it contains my name and photo that's essential for boarding. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be so grateful to retrieve it.
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 found a cream velvet ottoman yesterday afternoon around 3pm, sitting on the curb outside the Waitrose on High Street, Chelmsford. It's round, about 18 inches across, with four slender brass legs and a tiny snag along the front seam. The fabric shows a little wear from use but is still soft and sturdy, with a faint coffee ring on the top from a spill that never quite came out. If this is yours, I’d love to get it back to you—happy to hold onto it or meet up somewhere convenient in Essex.
I found a cockatiel this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Castle Park gates off High Street in Colchester. It's a grey-and-yellow bird, about the size of a small pigeon, with bright orange cheek patches and a pale yellow crest that looks a bit slept-on. There’s a tiny red leg band on its left leg, and a few feathers along the tail are a touch ruffled from the wind. It seemed calm when I approached and hopped up onto a nearby bench, then perched on my shoulder for a moment. I’m keeping it safe here and really hope to reunite it with its owner; if you think this might be yours, message me in the app and we’ll arrange a meetup to return it.
I found a concert ticket stub this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Riverside Shopping Centre on Chelmsford High Street in Essex. The ticket is for a show called 'Midnight Skyline' at The Civic Theatre on May 9, 7:30pm. It's for Section B, Row 3, Seat 7, with a bold red VIP stamp and a scuffed barcode. The paper is a bit creased but still legible, with a purple border and black lettering. If this belongs to you, I’d like to help you get it back—I know how stressful it can be to lose something like a gig ticket, and I’m happy to coordinate a safe meetup near the station or drop it at the Essex Lost & Found.
I found a soft mint-green plush dragon this afternoon around 3:40pm near the Lakeside Shopping Centre main entrance by Costa Coffee in Essex. It's about 12 inches tall and has purple wings, a bright yellow ribbon tied around its neck, and a tiny star patch on its chest. The fur feels a bit dusty from walking around the mall, and there's a small scuff on the nose, but otherwise it's in good condition. I figured someone might be missing a beloved toy, and I hope its owner sees this and retrieves it soon.
I found a silver bracelet with a small blue gem this afternoon around 3:15pm, lying on the pavement outside Waterstones on Colchester High Street in Essex. It's a slim, 7-inch bracelet with a tiny star charm dangling near the clasp; the blue gem catches the light and looks like a small sapphire. The chain shows a few light scratches but it's otherwise in decent condition. If the owner recognizes it, please drop me a message—I'd love to return it to you.
