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
Lost scarf in city centre
Hi everyone, I dropped this scarf somewhere in the city centre on Sunday (19th April). It's handmade one of a kind, so not easily replaceable - please let me know if you see it! thanks in advance 🙏
Ivory duvet cover with blue stripe
I lost my ivory duvet cover with a thin blue stripe, Queen size cotton percale from IKEA. Yesterday around 3pm I was walking back from Waterstones on Parliament Street, near The Shambles in York when I must have dropped it along the sidewalk. It's a clean ivory color with a faint blue edge, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the bottom-right corner plus a small 'LM' initials embroidered on the inner corner. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please get in touch here; I’d be grateful to recover it.
Charcoal grey Nike hoodie with fox embroidery
I lost my charcoal grey Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Shambles Market on Stonegate in York. It's a size M, full-zip hoodie, with a neon-green zipper pull and a tiny fox embroidery on the right shoulder. The cuffs are a little stretched and there's a faint coffee stain near the hem—otherwise it's still in decent condition. This hoodie means a lot to me; it was a gift from my mom last year, and I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected].
Antique pocket watch with blue dragon motif
I lost my antique pocket watch yesterday around 4:15pm. It's a small gold-tone piece with a blue enamel dragon on the back and a glass cover that's scratched. Inside the lid there's a faint engraving 'M.R.' and a tiny serial number 'X-1978' that you can read in good light. I think I had it after leaving The Shambles Market by York Minster and walking toward Walmgate; it was a family heirloom from my grandfather and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
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.
Navy Nike running jacket with orange zipper pull
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.
