I lost my white AirPods Pro charging case yesterday around 5:15pm outside the Shambles Market entrance on The Shambles in York. It's the slim white case, a little dent on the lower left edge, and a tiny scratch near the hinge. There's a blue sticker with the initials 'PP' on the back, which helps identify it. Inside are the earbuds, but the case is what I’m missing, and I really need it back for daily commutes and calls. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister, and I'd be unbelievably grateful to get it returned.
I lost my white University of York staff ID badge this afternoon around 3pm. It’s a small plastic card, credit-card size, with my photo on the left and my name in bold, plus a blue retractable lanyard clipped to the top. I think I last had it near the Shambles Market on The Shambles in York, maybe dropped by a cafe or near the York Minster steps. The back has a faint green security sticker and there’s a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner from a tumble today. This badge is essential for my work access, so I’m really hoping someone picked it up and can return it.
I lost my black MacBook Pro 13-inch yesterday around 4:30pm near York Minster on Goodramgate. It’s a 2015 model with two visible stickers on the lid—a cartoon cat and a tiny rainbow—and a small dent near the Apple logo. The charger is in the laptop bag, and there’s a blue silicone sleeve with my initials on it. Inside, you’ll find a sticky note that says 'For Sam'—don’t know why it’s there, but it’s an odd clue. It has sentimental value and holds years of music projects and travel notes I’d really like back. If you found it, please message me here so we can arrange pickup in York.
I lost my red Penguin Classics edition mystery novel yesterday around 3pm. I was in York, near Waterstones on Coney Street, when I realized it wasn’t in my tote anymore. It’s a Penguin Classics edition, red cover with a green ribbon bookmark, and the spine is a little creased from travel. There’s a coffee stain on page 120 and a small dent on the bottom corner of the dust jacket. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it really means a lot to me—please help me get it back.
I lost my gold ring with a small emerald set in a slim 14k band yesterday around 3pm outside a cafe near The Shambles in York. The band is about 5.5mm wide, smooth on the outside but a bit worn on the edges, and there’s a tiny heart engraving on the inner side. It’s sentimental—a gift from my grandmother that I wore every day. If found, email me at [email protected].
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.
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.
I found a navy Nike running jacket this morning around 9:15am outside the Shambles, just off High Petergate in York. It's a size L, lightweight water-resistant fabric, with a bright orange zipper pull and a small white reflective swoosh on the chest. There are two zip pockets and a faint coffee stain on the inside tag, and the jacket shows light wear from use. If the owner sees this, please get in touch; I'd really like to reunite you with it.
I found a red and black plaid knit scarf this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Shambles Market in York. It's about 60 inches long and 8 inches wide, made of soft acrylic with a slightly fuzzy fringe. There's a small leather tag sewn inside that reads 'L.L.Bean' and a tiny pinecone charm attached to the edge. The scarf shows light wear, but no major stains or holes. It’s clearly a Seasonal Item—great for the chilly days York’s winter brings—and it feels sentimental in its own quiet way. If this matches someone’s lost scarf, I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED with red/blue controllers yesterday around 3:15pm near Waterstones on Micklegate, York. It's in decent condition and still powers on, the screen looks clear and bright. It has a blue silicone case and a small red fox sticker on the back that makes it easy to identify. The device was tucked behind a planter outside a cafe, so I picked it up and kept it safe for the owner. If this sounds like yours, describe the fox sticker or the blue case to verify.
