Blue Nike rugby ball found near Harbourside, Bristol
Description
I found a blue and white Nike rugby ball this afternoon around 3:15pm along the Harbourside walk, outside the M Shed near Princes Wharf in Bristol. It's a full-size ball and seems well used, with a bit of scuffing along the seam and a small tear on the blue panel. One identifying feature is a faded white star sticker near the Nike logo, plus the number 7 stamped on the opposite panel. The ball was just sitting on the pavement, not deflated, and I figured someone might be missing it after training by the water. If it belongs to you, I'd love to get it back to its rightful owner.

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.
