Lost sheet music near Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester.

I was in a rehearsal at The Bridgewater Hall around 3:15 p.m. today when I realized my folder of sheet music had vanished from the chair where I’d left it. The folder is a red-plastic cover with a few pencil marks and my initials scrawled on the inside flap. I hurried along Oxford Road toward Whitworth Art Gallery, hoping it hadn’t wandered far, but I didn’t see it. It means a lot to me to recover it before tomorrow’s rehearsal, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it shows up here.

Lost equipment for sports in Manchester

Last Tuesday at around 8:30 p.m., I realised my equipment for various sports had vanished somewhere near Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester. The bag contains gear for football, basketball, and tennis—enough to get a weekend session going. It’s a black holdall with my initials stitched in white on the side, and inside you’ll find football boots, shin guards, a training bib, and a spare tracksuit. I’m worried about missing training this weekend, and I appreciate any help spotting it.

Lost: Medication near Piccadilly Gardens

I realized I’d misplaced my medication around 6:15 PM yesterday while walking through Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester. I’d left the bus stop near the Arndale Centre, and I must have dropped the small white bottle with the blue label somewhere along Market Street. The pills are essential for my daily routine, and missing a dose would leave me dizzy and anxious. I’m hopeful someone picked them up and will see this post, because losing them has been weighing on me all evening. If found, I’d be grateful to have them back so I can plan the next few days with less worry.

Lost stamps near Piccadilly Gardens

While I waited for a friend outside Manchester Piccadilly Station around 7:15 p.m. on Monday, my small blue tin of stamps slipped from my bag and vanished from sight. I must have left it on a bench near the entrance, because I turned away briefly to check my watch and didn't see it when I looked back. The stamps aren’t valuable in monetary terms, but they connect to my late grandfather and a little collection I was building, so losing them feels personal. I’m hoping someone nearby around Piccadilly Gardens might have found them and kept them safe.

Found postcards in Manchester city centre

While wandering Manchester’s Northern Quarter this afternoon, around 3:15 p.m., I found a bundle of postcards tucked under a bench near Afflecks Palace. They’re a colorful mix—handwritten notes, stamps, and photos that feel like a little time capsule of the city. I gathered them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner will see this and claim them. If you’re the owner and you recognize these, I’m glad to help reunite you with them.

Lost Driver's License in Manchester

I lost my driver's license around 3:15 PM on Tuesday, after stepping out for coffee near Piccadilly Gardens. I walked along Market Street, then down Pall Mall, hoping it turned up in a cafe bin or on a bus seat. It's my primary ID for work and travel, and the thought of replacing it is stressful. If anyone found it, please leave a note through the site so I can arrange its return.
