LEGO City red race car set with hood sticker
Description
I lost my LEGO City red race car set yesterday around 3pm near the Waterstones on Princes Street, Edinburgh. It's a red LEGO set, probably about the size of a paperback, with a silver stripe along the side and a tiny sticker of a lightning bolt on the hood. The car comes with a small blue minifigure wearing a white helmet, and I remember the instruction booklet has a dog-eared corner from being shuffled in my kid's backpack. It has sentimental value because it was my son's favorite gift from his first birthday, and I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please drop a note here or message me—I'm hoping it's still intact and not missing a wheel!

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.
