Red Nike running shoes found near Union Street, Aberdeen
Description
I found a pair of red Nike running shoes this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Bon Accord Centre on Union Street in Aberdeen. They're women's size UK 7, with a red mesh upper, white swoosh, and a slightly scuffed white sole. A tiny blue stitched heart sits on the inner side of the left shoe, and there’s a small reflective tag on the tongue that catches light when you tilt them. They look clean overall but there’s a bit of mud on the soles from the curbside puddle near the bus stop. If these belong to you, DM me and we can arrange a quick handover near Union Street or the nearby train station.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
