Lost keys with purple fob near Cornmarket, Oxford
I lost a set of keys (purple fob) on the street this evening from 16:00 to 17:10 in central Oxford, potentially near Cornmarket street.
Yellow Makita 18V drill in yellow case
Yesterday around 3pm I was helping a friend move stuff outside the B&Q on Botley Road, Oxford, and I must have set my drill down and walked off. It's a yellow Makita 18V cordless drill in a yellow hard case, with two 2.0Ah batteries and a charger. It’s in pretty good shape, just a few scuffs from use, and there’s a blue sticker with the initials 'P.R.' on the battery plus a tiny dent on the chuck from a dropped drill bit. I really rely on it for a small home renovation, and it means a lot to me to have it back as soon as possible.
Yellow DeWalt 20V cordless drill
I lost my yellow DeWalt 20V XR cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market on Market Street, Oxford. It's the DeWalt model with a black rubber grip and a small dent on the chuck housing. The battery release button sticks a little, and there's a faint scratch along the side from a prior job. I really need it back—it's my main tool for weekend repairs and the go-to for DIY around the house. If you found it, please drop it off at the Oxford Lost & Found counter near Carfax or message me and I’ll arrange a pickup.
Lost black corduroy shoulder bag with enamel white butterfly
I have lost a black corduroy shoulder bag with an enamel white butterfly. Inside the bag is my bank cards (frozen), ID and house key, as well as my NHS work ID. I believe I left it on the bus, either the 15 to Wood Farm or the 3A to the Lidl in Cowley between 8:50am and 9:10am on Thursday 5th Feb. For the 3A, I got off at Queens Lane and for the 15, I got off at Roosevelt Drove. I have been informed by Oxford Bus Company that it has not been handed in and the drivers did not find it when they returned the buses to the depot at the end of the day/shift. Please could you contact me if you have found this so that we can discuss drop off If you have found this, it would be really helpful if this could be dropped off at the Churchill Hospital, The Oxford Bus Company - Travel Shop at Gloucester Green, or the Oxford Bus Company depot in Cowley depending on what is most convenient to you 🙂
Seiko solar watch, blue dial, brown leather strap
I lost my Seiko solar watch yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market on Market Street in Oxford. It has a blue sunburst dial, a stainless steel case, and a brown leather strap that’s slightly worn in from daily use. There’s a tiny scratch on the bezel at 2 o'clock and the back is engraved with my initials 'P.P.'—it's sentimental because it was a gift from my sister. If someone found it, I’d be really grateful to have it back; we can arrange a meetup somewhere central in Oxford, like Carfax or outside the train station.
Gray Nike sneakers found near Broad Street
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 1:45pm outside Blackwell's on Broad Street in Oxford. They're UK size 9, with white soles and a bright neon-green heel tab on the left shoe. One lace is slightly frayed and there’s a tiny red stain on the sole near the toe. I picked them up off the pavement behind a planter near the entrance after someone nearby pointed to them. If the owner recognizes these features, please reach out—we'd love to get them back; they look well-worn and obviously meaningful.
Black satin evening gown with silver brooch found
I found a black satin evening gown this afternoon around 2:15pm, lying over a bench outside Blackwell's on Broad Street, Oxford. It's a Calvin Klein collection piece, size UK 12, in good condition with a delicate silver brooch at the waist and a subtle crystal detailing along the neckline. The gown has a soft but sturdy feel and a navy-blue satin lining peeking from the slit at the back. One unique feature is a small fern-shaped pin attached to the inside of the bodice tag, with a faint perfume scent from last night. I'm hoping to get it back to its owner soon; happy to help return it through the app.
Red knitted scarf with monogram tag
I found this red knitted scarf this afternoon around 3:15pm near the entrance to Carfax, right by the Oxford Covered Market. It's a thick, chunky knit in bright cherry red with black fringe at the ends. There’s a small brown leather tag stitched inside with the initials 'A.J.' and the label 'Acorn & Co.' I noticed a faint coffee stain on the inner edge and one corner is a little pilly, but it's in decent condition overall. If you think it's yours, message me here and we can arrange a safe handover near the Oxford Playhouse or on High Street later this week.
Guinea pig with tan/white fur near Covered Market
I found a guinea pig this afternoon around 4:15pm wandering near the entrance to Oxford's Covered Market on Market Street. It's a small, healthy-looking animal with tan and white fur and a blue bell on a red collar, plus a distinctive white heart-shaped patch on its left shoulder. It seemed a bit skittish but quickly settled after a passerby offered a leafy snack. I’d love to reunite it with its owner—if this is yours, describe the collar and patch to help confirm.
Found navy Barbour parka near Broad Street, Oxford
I found a navy Barbour-style parka this morning around 9:15am outside Blackwell's on Broad Street, Oxford. It's a medium size, waxed navy fabric with a brass zip and a faux fur hood, and the interior has a distinctive red tartan lining. One identifying feature is the brass fox-head zipper pull on the left chest pocket and a small orange tag near the bottom hem. There's a bit of wear around the cuffs, but overall it's in good condition. If this jacket belongs to you, I'm happy to arrange a quick meetup nearby or drop it off at the Covered Market.
