Blue Ventolin inhaler with orange cap, Belfast
Description
I lost my blue Ventolin inhaler yesterday around 3pm outside the Victoria Square Shopping Centre on Great Victoria Street, Belfast. The inhaler is white and blue with an orange cap, and there’s a small dent on the side from a drop; the inner cartridge still rattles when shaken. It’s housed in a soft grey case with a tiny star sticker on the cap, and it has a few scuffs from daily use. It really helps me breathe and I get anxious about a flare-up without it, especially since it was a gift from my mum; I’m hoping someone found it and can return it. If you’ve seen it, please reply here—I’d be grateful to reclaim it.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
