Lost CDs in central Oxford near Carfax Tower
Description
I lost a small blue CD case this morning in central Oxford. At about 9:15 am I was leaving the Bodleian Library through Carfax when I realized the case wasn’t in my bag. Inside are about a dozen CDs—indie rock, a classical recital, and a college choir recording—kept in a faded blue sleeve with a green sticker. They’re sentimental, especially the recital CD from my dad’s university days. I wandered from Carfax Tower toward the Radcliffe Camera to retrace my steps, checking benches and the Covered Market area, but I couldn’t find it. If found, I hope someone can return it 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.
