lost holiday decorations: garlands and baubles from Cornwall home.
On Friday 8 December, around 7:45 pm, I lost my bag of holiday decorations from the living room of my flat on Fore Street in St Ives, Cornwall. The garlands with silver tinsel and a dozen red-and-green baubles were meant for the village Christmas display at the parish hall this weekend. I last set them on the coffee table at 7:30 pm, while I watched the waves from the window overlooking Porthminster Beach. It aches to think they might be tucked somewhere in the house or behind a curtain, and I keep replaying every moment I moved them. If you’ve seen a bag matching this description, please contact through the site.
Navy blue handbag with gold hardware
Found a navy blue leather handbag yesterday around 3:15pm outside the Co-op on Fore Street in Newquay, Cornwall. It's a compact tote about 25cm wide by 15cm high, with gold hardware and a detachable strap, plus a little compass charm on the zipper. The front has a subtle white diagonal stripe that helps it stand out. Inside there’s a fabric lining, a pink lipstick lid, and a small cardholder with the initials 'A.L.' I’ll happily return it to its owner—send a message here and we can arrange a safe handoff after a quick check of the contents.
Found brown suede ankle boots with buckle
Found a pair of brown suede ankle boots this afternoon around 3:15pm, sitting on the pavement along Mayflower Street by the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. They’re size 6, women's, branded Clarks, and they’ve got a distinctive brass buckle on the outer side with a faint blue stitch along the heel seam. The left boot is a touch darker than the right, and there’s a small scuff on the toe from wear. They were next to the bike racks by the cafe near the Mayflower Steps, so I figured someone might be missing them after a stroll along the waterfront. If these look familiar, send me a message and we can arrange returning them.
Le Creuset orange casserole found near Mayflower Steps
Found a Le Creuset 3-quart orange casserole dish this afternoon around 4:15 pm outside the Barbican Hall by Mayflower Steps in Plymouth, Devon, in the Devon & Cornwall region. It's in great condition overall, with the bright Marseille orange enamel and a small chip on the rim of the lid, plus a faint tomato stain on the interior. The bottom bears the classic Le Creuset stamp and 3 qt marking. It was resting on a bench by the pedestrianized area near the steps, tucked next to a reusable shopping bag. If this pan was a gift or holds sentimental value, please describe the chip and the stamp so we can reunite it with its owner.
Keys with green paracord and blue tag
I found a set of keys this morning around 7:50am in the car park behind the Eden Project in St Blazey, Cornwall. They are on a sturdy metal keyring with a bright green paracord loop and a blue enamel tag etched with the initials JT. There is a mix of home and car keys, plus a tiny flashlight keychain that rattles when shaken. I will hold onto them near the visitor center and can meet somewhere nearby or hand them to Lost & Found staff in the Cornwall area if someone claims them.
Blue contact lens case lost near Barbican
I lost my blue contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Barbican area in Plymouth, in the Devon & Cornwall region. It's a small oval case about the size of a lemon, blue with a white lid, and the left compartment has a tiny dent. There's a sticky label on the bottom with my initials 'PP' and a faded RX sticker I put there years ago. It means a lot to me because the lenses help me see clearly after long shifts, and I really need it back. If you found it anywhere around the Barbican, Sutton Harbour, or the Drake Circus, please drop me a message.
University ID card with blue lanyard
I lost my university ID card yesterday around 3pm near the Barbican area by the Plymouth Hoe in Devon & Cornwall. It's a standard laminated card with my photo and name, attached to a blue lanyard. There’s a small coffee stain on the bottom left corner and a tiny scratch across the photo—easy to spot if you’re searching. This card is essential for campus access and library entry, and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop a note here—thank you.
Neon yellow Nike swim shorts with initials
Lost my neon yellow Nike swim shorts, size M, yesterday around 3pm near Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. They're quick-dry mesh with a black waistband and an orange drawstring; the left leg has a small white wave stitch. Inside the waistband there are blue initials 'AJ' stitched on; there’s a tiny 1 cm tear along the inner lining by the pocket from a tumble. They were a gift from my coach and mean a lot to me, especially for summer training. I’d really appreciate them being found—they fit perfectly and I’ve worn them for years.
Salmon-pink dog harness with bone tag
I lost my salmon-pink dog harness with a small silver bone-shaped tag engraved 'Milo' yesterday around 3pm near the cafe outside the Royal Cornwall Museum on River Street in Truro, Devon & Cornwall. It's a Pawfect Fit nylon harness, size adjustable, with bright lime-green reflective trim and a few scuffs from daily use. Milo and I were walking along the riverfront when he darted after a butterfly, and the harness slipped off. The tag reads 'MILO' and the fabric has a tiny coffee stain on the strap—it's simple, but it's the one that fits him best and it's got sentimental value because Milo is a rescue we adopted last year. If you see it, send me a note here; I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Nintendo Switch OLED Neon Red/Blue Joy-Cons
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Nintendo Switch OLED was missing. I was near the Drake Circus shopping centre in Plymouth, just outside a little kebab shop and the bus stop. It’s the neon red/blue Joy-Con model with a white dock and a black silicone case. There’s a panda sticker on the back and a neon-green screen protector I’d added for fun. I’ve got a ton of saved games and a couple of photos from trips, so it feels really important to me. If someone found it, please drop me a message—I’d be so grateful to get it back.
Silver bracelet with star charm and blue bead
I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Barbican on Plymouth's waterfront in Devon & Cornwall. It's a 6-inch sterling silver chain with a tiny star charm and a blue glass bead on the clasp. The clasp has my initials 'AM' engraved, and there's a tiny scratch along the edge of the star from wear. It was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value; I really need it back. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I'd be incredibly grateful to have it returned.
Medical alert bracelet found near Co-op, Barnstaple
Found this morning around 10:15am outside the Co-op on Fore Street in Barnstaple. It's a white medical alert bracelet with a red heart charm and a blue fabric band. The inside of the clasp is engraved with 'A. Singh' and there's a tiny medical symbol sticker on the back. It looks well cared for and clearly meant for everyday wear, so I figured it should go back to its owner ASAP. If this matches yours, I'm happy to meet in the Barnstaple Market Square or hand it over at the Co-op counter.
Blue cockatiel with yellow crest and leg band
I lost my blue cockatiel yesterday around 3pm. He was last seen near the Barbican in Plymouth, fluttering around the benches outside a café by the water. He’s a blue-grey bird with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches, about the size of a small parakeet. He wears a small silver leg band engraved 'LJ-7' on his right leg, and there's a tiny white scar on his left wing from a minor tumble last week. He’s incredibly friendly, chirpy, and used to perching on my finger at home. I’m really worried—he’s my constant companion and it would mean the world to get him back. If found, I’ll travel to meet you anywhere in Devon & Cornwall.
Found Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller near Barbican, Plymouth
I found a compact black Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller this afternoon around 4pm, tucked behind the Mayflower Steps on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. It's a 25-key keyboard with eight backlit pads and a USB-C port, and it came with a short USB-C cable still coiled underneath. The back has a blue sticker that reads 'Studio 54' and there's a tiny dent on the top edge with a faint coffee stain near the knobs. It looks well used but solid, and I can imagine it belongs to someone who uses it for gigs or home recording. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] with any detail that proves ownership (the model, the sticker, or the exact features).
Gold signet ring with emerald, found in Plymouth
I found a gold signet ring this afternoon around 3:40pm near the Mayflower Steps on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. It's a 14k gold signet with a small emerald bezel on top and a brushed finish along the band. Inside, there's a tiny engraving that looks like 'J.R.' The ring is in good condition, a bit warm from being in my pocket all day. If the owner can describe the engraving or the inside mark, or the approximate size, I’ll happily arrange a meetup to return it.
