Description
I was walking home from the gym around 7:15 pm last Monday when I spotted a lime-green holdall wedged behind the Leeds Station entrance by the coffee kiosk. The bag bulged with equipment for various sports: a football boot, a rugby shirt, a rolled-up yoga mat, and a couple of tennis balls. It looked recently forgotten, damp from the drizzle and with a faint chalky smell. I checked the pockets for a name tag or anything obvious, but there was nothing I could use. I’m posting this in case someone has been worrying about it—hope it finds its way back to its owner.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
