Description
On Tuesday around 4:40 PM, I realized my handheld console was missing after I left the Grainger Market area in Newcastle. It’s a small black device with a sharp screen and a blue protective case that I’ve dragged across the country during college days. I retraced my steps along Grey Street toward Newcastle Central Station, but there was no sign of it. I can’t shake the worry that someone may have picked it up, but I still hold onto a glimmer of hope that it’s waiting to be found. If this sounds like yours, I’d be grateful for any help reuniting us, through the site.

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.
