LOST dresses in Kent, Kent, United Kingdom
Description
I lost my two dresses this afternoon after a long day at the Canterbury market. At around 3:15 pm, I was strolling down Canterbury High Street near The King's Head when I realized my dresses were missing from my tote. The navy satin maxi with a beaded waist and the pale pink lace tea dress are precious to me because they were my grandmother's and my sister's wedding memories. I must have dropped them somewhere near the bus stop by Canterbury West Station, that last moment I felt the tote slip and the world go quiet. Please, if you found them, let me know; these dresses mean more than clothes 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.
