Green Moleskine sketchbook with dragon sticker
I lost my green Moleskine A6 watercolor sketchbook yesterday around 3pm near the Minster gift shop on Minster Yard in York. It’s a compact notebook with a forest-green cover and a small gold dragon sticker on the back, plus a slightly cracked spine from a spill last week. Inside are a few local landscape sketches and a note about a plein air meetup, plus my initials 'PP' penciled on the inside cover. This sketchbook means a lot to me—it's the first batch of ideas from my art course, and it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Teak coffee table with glass top
I lost my teak coffee table with a glass top yesterday around 3pm. It's a 3-foot-long mid-century piece with a carved teak frame and a tempered glass insert, plus a small chip on the front left leg and a sunburst grain along the edge. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me. I last saw it near Shambles Market on The Shambles in York; I think someone may have moved it to the back area by York Minster that afternoon. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Small black Bluetooth speaker with blue dragon sticker
Lost my small black Bluetooth speaker yesterday around 3pm near the York Station entrance on Station Road. It's about the size of a soda can, matte black plastic with a tiny dent on the top-right corner and a bright blue dragon sticker on the side. It’s my daily companion for playlists and conference calls on walks, and it was a gift from my sister last year, so it has sentimental value. I’d really appreciate getting it back; I rely on it during my commute and workouts. If you found it, I’d be grateful to reunite with it.
Lost gold link bracelet between Lawrence Street and Slip Inn
I’ve lost a gold link bracelet between Lawrence Street and Slip Inn Clementhorpe, walking between the two places yesterday. May be broken if it has fallen off.
Lost gold necklace with birthstone and snowdrops
I lost a gold necklace with a birthstone, engraved with snowdrops and the phrase “In ev’ry moment” in the Woodthorpe area. It is of sentimental value
Blue plush unicorn with pink mane
I found this blue plush unicorn this morning around 7:45am near the entrance to York Minster on Minster Yard. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft fleece, with a bright pink mane and a tiny purple star sewn on its left flank. The toy looks well-loved; there’s a small scuff on one hoof and the tip of its horn is a bit flattened, which I figured might help identify it. It clearly belongs to a child and I’d love to see it back with its owner—if this is yours, describe the unicorn’s features (mane color, star patch, hoof scuff) and where you last had it, and we can arrange a meetup near the Shambles.
Black North Face backpack with red rain cover
I found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 4pm behind The Shambles in York. It's a medium-sized bag, a bit worn but solid, with a bright red rain cover tucked into the top pocket and a distinctive blue zipper pull on the main compartment. Inside there is a gray hoodie, a notebook with a fox doodle on the cover, and a coffee-shop receipt that shows the name 'York Café'. There are a few scuffs on the bottom, but otherwise it looks usable; if this is yours, drop me a message so we can arrange a pickup.
Found Kindle Paperwhite with blue case near Waterstones, York
I found a Kindle Paperwhite this afternoon around 3:20pm outside Waterstones on Coney Street in York. It sits in a blue fabric case and has a small white compass sticker on the back. The screen is clear, with just a faint scratch along the bottom edge from being tucked in a bag. If this is yours, message me in the app and we can arrange a safe handover.
Found cream fabric ottoman with brass nailhead trim
I found a cream fabric ottoman this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Shambles Market on The Shambles in York. It's a compact 18x18 inch piece with dark wooden legs and brass nailhead trim along the edges. The upholstery is soft cream linen, and there's a small coffee stain on the top right corner plus a tiny dent on one side. It looks like someone’s favorite piece, and I’d love to help reunite it with its owner if you’re missing it. I left it near the market stall center on The Shambles in case someone comes back to claim it.
Leopard gecko in terrarium found near Stonegate
I found a small leopard gecko this afternoon around 3:15pm, tucked under a bench by Stonegate near The Shambles in York. It's about 8 inches long from head to tail, with a yellow-orange base color, dark brown spots, and two faint black bands across its back. The gecko was in a clear plastic tub with a simple glass terrarium setup, roughly 20x20x30 cm, a red heat lamp, and a shallow dish with mealworms. It has a tiny white scar above its right eye, which should help identify it, and the little guy looked stressed and hungry, so I really hope to get him back with his owner soon.
