Le Creuset orange casserole found near Mayflower Steps
Description
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.

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.
