Description
I lost my black Samsonite carry-on suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the tram stop by The Lace Market in Nottingham. It's a 55cm hard-shell with a few scuffs and a bright red luggage tag bearing my initials NR on the handle; there’s also a small tear on the bottom corner. Inside are clothes, a navy rain jacket, and a folded scarf that belonged to my grandmother—it’s the last keepsake I have from her, so it means a lot to me. I’m really hoping someone who picked it up in East Midlands, especially around that Lace Market area, can get it back to me.

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.
