Description
I lost my red Nike running shoes yesterday around 6pm, outside the Grand Opera House on Great Victoria Street in Belfast. They're UK size 9.5, with a bright white swoosh, a black toe cap, and a teal mesh panel at the heel. One lace is frayed, and there's a small paint smear on the outer side near the heel. They were a gift from my sister, so they mean a lot to me, and I’m really hoping to get them back. I wear them for weekend runs and they’re my go-to pair.

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.
