LOST

Sterling silver heart necklace, initials EM

I lost my sterling silver heart necklace yesterday around 3pm outside the Covered Market entrance on Cornmarket Street in Oxford. It’s a slim 18-inch chain with a small heart pendant, and the back is engraved with the initials EM. It’s sentimental to me—my sister gave it to me, and I wear it every day—so I’m really hoping it’s found. The chain has a slight tarnish from daily wear and there’s a tiny scratch on the heart that I’d recognize.

Blue hardcover copy of The Remains of the Day

I lost my blue hardcover edition of The Remains of the Day yesterday around 5pm near Blackwell's Bookshop on Broad Street in Oxford. The spine is cracked and the dust jacket has a small tear at the top edge, with a coffee ring on the front cover. Inside the front cover I left a note with my initials 'P.P.' and the date; I also flagged page 214 with a bright yellow sticky note. It has sentimental value—it's a gift from my late aunt, and I really need it back.

Red emergency contact card lost in Oxford

I lost my red-edged emergency contact card yesterday around 4pm somewhere near the Bodleian Library on Broad Street in Oxford. The card is the size of a credit card, white with a thin red border, and it has 'Emergency Contacts' printed on the front. My name, Emma Patel, is on it along with two phone numbers: my campus line and my mom's cell. In the lower-right corner there are etched initials 'EP' and a tiny Oxford crest sticker on the back. It's not just a piece of plastic—it's how I reach family in an emergency, and I really need it back. If you find it, please text me at [email protected] or call my campus line; I can meet you anywhere near High Street or Broad Street to grab it.

Lost gray tabby with blue collar, Milo

Hi there, I'm really worried about my cat Milo. He's a medium-sized gray tabby with a white chest and two white paws, and he wears a blue nylon collar with a tiny silver bell. I last saw him yesterday around 6pm near the Covered Market on Broad Street in Oxford; he dashed off when a cyclist zoomed by and I couldn't catch him. He has a small notch on his right ear and a faint white spot on his nose, which I hope helps someone recognize him. Milo is usually affectionate but skittish with strangers, so I'd be beyond grateful to get him back home; he's my family's little shadow and this has been really stressful.

Lost round silver bracelet in Oxford

Please help! I lost a round silver bracelet in Oxford between 10.30 AM and 7.30 PM on 22 March, likely while cycling between Mount St/Jericho and Manor Rd/St Catz (via Lamb and Flag passage), or between Manor Rd/St Catz and Hill Farm/Marston (via the Marston bike path starting at Uni Parks, Crofton Road Playground). The bracelet is a bit less than half an inch of width and has a woven pattern in the middle (see photo). It has a stamp with 825 inside. It is jewelery I inherited from my late mum, so has huge personal value. REWARD OFFERED! Please email [email protected]

Brass pocket watch found on Broad Street

I found a brass pocket watch this afternoon around 2:15 pm on Broad Street near the Covered Market in Oxford. It's a small brass case, about 2 inches across, with a glass face and a worn black leather fob. The back is engraved with the initials 'P.K.' and the glass has a tiny crack; the ticking is still steady when I move it. I know it probably meant a lot to someone, so I’d really like to help get it back to its owner.

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.
