Description
I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm. It was in a black protective case with a red zipper, left in a hurry near the Bullring shopping centre outside Costa Coffee on High Street. The console is the OLED model with neon red/blue Joy-Cons. There’s a small yellow lightning-bolt sticker on the left Joy-Con and a crack in the top-right corner of the screen protector. It matters a lot to me—it's my main way to unwind after work, and I was in the middle of a long save. If anyone picked it up, please drop a note; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

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.
