Red Penguin Classics mystery novel with green ribbon bookmark

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.

Gold ring with emerald lost near The Shambles York

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].

Grey knitted scarf with silver tassel

I lost my grey knitted scarf yesterday around 3pm outside York Minster on Minster Yard, near the Shambles. It's a mid-grey merino blend, about 180 cm long, with a distinctive silver tassel at one end and a small blue stitch along the fringe from a repair last winter. The scarf is from Uniqlo, a gift from my grandmother, and it means a lot to me — it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Percussion: Red Ludwig 14x6.5 snare missing

I’m gutted— I lost my red Ludwig 14x6.5 snare drum yesterday around 3pm near the Shambles Market, behind Coppergate Shopping Centre in York. It’s a gloss red finish with chrome hardware, and there’s a tiny dent on the rim. Inside the shell there’s a circular sticker with my initials AP. It was a gift from my aunt and I’ve used it in every rehearsal; I really need it back for an upcoming gig. If you found it, please drop me a message so we can arrange a pickup near York Minster or Bootham Bar. Thanks so much.

Red plaid knit scarf found near Shambles Market

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.

Nintendo Switch OLED with red/blue controllers

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.

Silver Pandora bracelet found near The Shambles

I found a silver Pandora bracelet this afternoon around 3:45pm outside The Shambles Market on The Shambles in York. It's a curb chain bracelet about 7 inches long, with a small blue enamel heart charm and a tiny star charm. The clasp has a faint engraving of the initial 'P' and there’s a light scratch along one link from wear. The bracelet is in good condition but shows minor tarnish. If someone is missing a bracelet, especially if it was a gift or holds sentimental value, please reach out—I’d love to return it to its owner.

Found vintage Star Wars action figure collection near York Minster

I found a neat vintage Star Wars action figure collection this afternoon around 2:15pm tucked under a bench near The Shambles Market entrance by York Minster, a Collectors Items find. The set sits in a small black zippered pouch with a clear plastic sleeve, and inside are about 12 loose figures plus 3 carded ones from the late 70s and early 80s. Some paint wear and scuffs are visible—one figure has a dented helmet, another's cape is frayed, and the card backs have yellowed edges. There's a handwritten note tucked inside that reads J.C. Collection along with a small price sticker, which are neat identifying details. If these belong to someone, I’d be happy to help reunite them with the owner.

Orange tabby with white chest found near York Minster

I found this orange tabby this afternoon around 3:15pm, hanging out near the Shambles on Parliament Street, York. He's a medium-sized cat with a white chest, green eyes, and a tiny scar on his left ear. He's wearing a blue reflective collar with a small bell and a tag that might say Milo. He seemed calm and friendly once I spoke softly, and he's a bit dusty from the pavement but otherwise in good shape. If this matches your cat, send me a message and I’ll help reunite you.
