Blue Giro road bike helmet with white accents
Description
I lost my blue Giro road bike helmet yesterday around 3pm near Market Square tram stop on Maid Marian Way in Nottingham, East Midlands. It's matte cobalt blue with white Giro branding and size L, with an adjustable rear dial and removable padding. There's a small dent on the outer shell near the Giro logo and a lime-green reflective sticker on the inside of the strap. This helmet is my daily ride shield and holds sentimental value because it was a gift from a cycling club mentor; I really need it back if anyone found it. If you found it, please get in touch—I'd be grateful to get it back as soon as possible.

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.
