Red Christmas jumper with reindeer, lost in Cardiff city centre
Description
I’m hoping someone picked up my red Christmas jumper after the market yesterday. It’s a medium-sized knitted jumper, bright red with a white reindeer on the chest, and a fuzzy white trim at the cuffs. It’s a bit pilled from wear but still warm and comfy. I was wandering the Christmas market area near The Hayes, around St Mary Street, yesterday around 3pm, and I must have slipped it off somewhere between the stalls and the bus stop by WHSmith. There’s a small snag on the left cuff and a tiny reindeer patch I stitched inside the collar that's easy to spot if you peek inside. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value; I really need 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.
