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.

Lost: Travel Adapters

Around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday I was on Manchester’s Oxford Road, near the Student Union, when I must have dropped my travel adapters. They’re a universal blue case, compact and easy to miss, so I probably brushed past them and kept going. I really need them for an upcoming trip and I’d be grateful to have them back with me, even if it’s just the case with a note inside.

Navy Hugo Boss suit jacket with monogram lining

I was in Manchester city centre yesterday around 3pm, standing near the Selfridges entrance in Exchange Square when I think I left my navy Hugo Boss suit jacket on a chair by the café. It's a navy blue, single-breasted blazer, size 40R, with a charcoal lining and a small gold monogram A.J. stitched inside the left pocket. There's a tiny snag on the left cuff and a faint coffee stain on the inside lining near the label; it's hardly noticeable unless you look closely. This jacket has sentimental value—it's a gift from my late father and I wore it to important interviews; I really need it back.

Black leather briefcase with brass zipper

I lost my black leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Arndale Centre entrance on Market Street in Manchester. It's a slim, 15-inch briefcase by Samsonite with a slightly scuffed bottom edge, and the brass zipper sticks a bit when it's cold. Inside there's my laptop sleeve, a pile of client files, and a photo of my family—it's sentimental because these documents mean a lot for work and the photo reminds me to stay grounded. A red USB keychain hangs from the zipper pull, and there's a small coffee stain on the front corner. If anyone found it, please ping me—I'm really hoping to get it back soon.

Grey tabby cat with blue collar

I’m really worried—I lost my grey tabby Milo yesterday around 3pm near the Manchester Arndale on Market Street. He’s a short-haired cat, about 4kg, with a white patch on his chest and white paws, green eyes, and a tiny notch in his left ear. He wears a blue nylon collar with a tiny brass bell that jingles when he moves. He tends to disappear into back streets, so he could be anywhere between Exchange Square and the bus station near Piccadilly Gardens. Milo means the world to me; he’s been my companion through a lot, and I’d be over the moon to have him home soon. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected] or drop me a message here.

Blue DeWalt 20V drill with yellow case

I was finishing up a quick shelving project yesterday around 3pm and I must have left my blue DeWalt 20V cordless drill on the workbench near the Manchester Arndale entrance off Market Street. It's a compact DCD791-style drill, blue body with a bright yellow battery and a black rubber grip, and the yellow/black case has a dent in the corner with a white sticker that reads 'AR-07'. There's a faint green painter's tape on the trigger guard. This drill means a lot to me—it was a gift from my granddad and I really need it back to finish some home repairs; if you found it, drop me a message.

Grey tabby cat with green collar, missing

I lost my grey tabby cat, Leo, yesterday around 3pm. He wears a bright green collar with a tiny silver bell and a white chest patch, and his left ear has a small notch. He's a medium-sized guy, about 4 kg, and he tends to hide under cars or behind bins in busy spots. I last saw him around the Arndale Centre on Market Street in Manchester, and he might have wandered toward Piccadilly Gardens. He's microchipped, which should help, but I'm really worried—he's been with me for years and this has sentimental value. If anyone spots him, please contact me; I would be incredibly grateful to bring him home soon.

Violin with warm varnish, chipped chin rest

I lost my violin yesterday around 3pm. It's a standard full-size instrument with a warm honey-brown varnish, spruce top and maple back, and a bright, clear tone when I play. There are a couple of small marks I’ve learned to live with: a tiny chip at the chin rest and a faint scratch along the lower bout; there’s also a discreet repair patch on the back near the center seam. It came in a black rectangular case with a red velvet interior and a well-worn ebony shoulder rest. I think I last had it outside the Manchester Arndale on Market Street, near the tram stop, yesterday afternoon. It means a lot to me—it's the gift from my grandfather, and I really need it back.

Seiko stainless steel watch found near Arndale

Found a Seiko stainless steel watch this afternoon around 2:45pm outside the Manchester Arndale entrance on Market Street. It sports a black dial with white markers and a brushed silver bracelet, and there are a couple of tiny scuffs along the right edge of the case. The back is engraved with the initials 'MK' and the clasp shows a bit of wear from daily use. I know how much a watch can mean to someone, and I would love to reunite it with its owner — if any of these details sound familiar, drop me a line and we can arrange a meetup near Piccadilly Gardens or at the Arndale exit.

Blue dog harness with paw-print tag

I lost my blue dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Arndale Centre on Market Street in Manchester. It's a small-size nylon harness with a bright reflective stripe and a white paw-print patch. There's a bone-shaped tag engraved with my dog's name, Mika, on the back, and the buckle shows a little wear from daily use. It has sentimental value—Mika wore it on every walk, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, email me at [email protected].
