Tank Accessories LOST near Oxford's Historic Square.
Description
I was wrapping up a quick setup for a hobby project on Oxford's Historic Square last Saturday, around 3:10 p.m., when I realized I lost my tank accessories from my backpack. The kit includes a small metal clamp, two black hoses, and a blue toolbox lid—common but essential for the build I’m working on. I searched the Square—around the bookstores, the coffee shop, and the parking lot behind the row of shops—but nothing turned up. It’s frustrating because these pieces help me finish things I’m proud of, and I’d hate to lose them. If someone picked them up by mistake, I hope they’re returned to the Square where they belong.

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.
