Found hoops in Market Place, Chelmsford
I was walking back from the Market this morning, around 8:50 am, when I spotted a pair of hoops left on a bench near Market Cross in Chelmsford. They’re silver, simple hoops with a small heart charm snagged on one of them. They looked recently dropped—no scratches, just a bit of street dust. I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner will see this post soon.
Lost document holders in Essex
Today around 9:15 AM, I was leaving the Chelmsford Central Library on Duke Street when my document holders slipped from my bag and vanished into the bustle. They are black leather, a bit scuffed from years of use, with a few receipts poking out and a red elastic band around them. Inside are my birth certificates, my passport copy, and some travel tickets; losing them makes me feel exposed and anxious about ID security. If you found them anywhere near the library or along Duke Street, I hope the right person sees this post.
Found: chokers in Essex, United Kingdom
Last Friday around 6:20 p.m., I was walking along Colchester High Street near the Market Place when I found a small velvet pouch lying on the pavement. Inside were several chokers on a little card, shiny and delicate. I felt a rush of concern for whoever lost them and kept them safe, hoping to reunite them with their owner. If these belong to you, please check the area around Market Place and the bus stop outside Colchester Library; I’ll be here waiting for the rightful owner to claim them on the site.
Lost rabbits near Chelmsford station, Essex
I was walking home after work at around 7:15 pm yesterday when I realized my two rabbits were missing from their hutch outside our garden in Chelmsford. One is a small grey lop with white patches, the other a fluffy white rescue that sticks close to me. I last saw them near the Chelmsford station area, hopping along the pavement as people hurried by. My kids are upset, and I am worried sick about them getting cold or confused in the dark; please, if you have seen them, I would be forever grateful.
Lost hand tools near Chelmsford Cathedral
On Tuesday, about 3:20 PM, I was outside Market Place near Chelmsford Cathedral, sorting through a toolbox before a job. My hand tool roll—leather, worn; contents: screwdrivers, pliers, a chisel, and a small hammer—vanished. I walked down Bond Street, past the town hall, looped back along High Street, and then along the cathedral side streets, but I found nothing. Those tools were my late father’s and they hold real meaning for me. If you saw a rolled-up toolkit left behind or someone carrying a tool roll in the area, I’d appreciate any information.
Found pins near Essex town center today.
I was walking past the Essex Library on Tuesday afternoon around 4:15 p.m. when I spotted a small pile of enamel pins on the pavement near the market stalls. They looked like they might belong to someone, so I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner would recognize them. There are about a dozen pins, with designs ranging from band logos to cartoon characters. If any of this sounds like yours, check the library steps and the market square—I'll hold onto them until contact is made.
Found: Organizers at Chelmsford station
On Tuesday at 4:15 PM I found a small set of black plastic organizers on the pavement outside Chelmsford railway station in Essex. They look a bit scuffed from rain, with a clear lid that reveals a jumble of receipts and notes inside. I can imagine someone rushing to catch a train, papers fluttering, and their day going from organized to chaotic in seconds. I wanted to help reunite them with the rightful owner, because losing something that keeps your day in order is so stressful.
Lost gym clothes near Chelmsford station
I lost my gym clothes around 6:45 pm on Monday after a session at the Chelmsford Leisure Centre in Essex, near the Chelmsford train station. I was rushing to leave and must have left them in the changing area; when I realized, the halls were quiet and the room smelled faintly of detergent. The set includes a grey zip-up hoodie and black leggings, both worn from daily workouts and with a small logo on the sleeve. I'm stressed because I depend on this gear for my training and feel lost without it. If someone spotted them in the corridors or left in the lost-and-found, I’d be grateful for any help.
Lost xylophones in Essex, United Kingdom
I was wrapping up a youth music workshop near Colchester Library on High Street in Colchester, Essex, Essex, United Kingdom, around 7:10 p.m. last Thursday when my xylophones disappeared from the bench where I’d left them. They’re two wooden instruments with a honey-colored finish, each about the size of a soup can, and the mallets still have bright red grips. I use them for tomorrow’s session with the local kids, and the thought of starting without them makes me anxious. I’d be grateful if whoever picked them up could bring them back to the library desk; they’re essential for our class.
FOUND Paintings in Essex, Essex, United Kingdom
I found a stack of framed paintings leaning against a wall outside Market Square in Essex town center, Essex, United Kingdom, around 4:15 pm on Wednesday. The canvases show bright seascapes and countryside, still wrapped in protective plastic. I placed them in a sheltered doorway near the Market Square fountain, hoping the owner would recognize the scenes. It’s strange to stumble on art like this, but I’m glad to help reunite it with whoever created or commissioned it.
Holiday decorations lost in town centre
I was tidying up the Essex town centre's Christmas display outside the library on High Street around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday when a gust whipped through and I realized I had lost the box of decorations. The lights toppled and tangled on a railing, and a shiny foil star rolled toward the gutter by the shopfronts. Those ornaments—the baubles, tinsel, and a battered reindeer—mean a lot to me, and losing them felt like letting holiday magic slip away. I’m hoping whoever picked them up looked after them; these decorations carry years of family memories, and I’d be grateful to see them returned through the site.
I lost my Breeds notebook near Colchester High Street.
Last Friday, just before 7 pm, I stepped out of the Mercury Theatre on Colchester High Street and realized my Breeds notebook wasn't in my bag anymore. It's a small blue-bound reference with handwritten notes about dog breeds, and the word Breeds is on the cover. The street was busy with shoppers and the glow of shop windows; I must have dropped it somewhere between the theatre and the big Co-op. It's important for my work with a local rescue group, so I'm anxious to find it. If someone has picked it up, I would be grateful for its safe return.
Lost drones in Essex
Last Saturday around 7:15 PM I was filming with my two drones over Colchester Castle Park, near the High Street in Colchester, when the battery warning flashed and both drones drifted out of sight behind a row of trees. I retraced the fly path along North Hill and the riverside, but I couldn't recover them. The drones are different: one is black and compact, the other is slightly larger with a white frame and a red sticker on the bottom. They hold a lot of recent footage from trips with friends, which I miss more than the gadgets themselves. If you saw them anywhere around Colchester's town center or near the park, please keep an eye out; they belong to someone who would really appreciate their return.
Lost Trading Cards near Chelmsford High Street
I last had them at 6:45 PM on Friday, 13 June, waiting outside the Chelmsford Market on High Street. It’s a blue binder full of trading cards—mostly football legends and a few manga panels—with a red sticker that reads 'Season 98.' They hold quiet memories of my late uncle, and I’m terrified they’ve slipped away somewhere between the stalls and the bus lane. I’ve retraced every step, checked the bin by the phone box, and asked the stallholders, but I can’t shake the thought of them being gone forever.
Lost: Sports equipment bag near Chelmsford Station
I was finishing a training session at Chelmsford Sports Centre and, around 7:15 p.m. last Friday, I must have left my Equipment for Various Sports in a black duffel bag on the forecourt by the station's main entrance. Inside are football boots, a cricket bat, a few tennis balls, and a damp towel that smells of rain. The bag has a blue strap and a small white initials patch. I'm anxious about the upcoming season and the thought of replacing everything. If you found it, please note it on the site so I can arrange collection from Chelmsford. It would mean a lot.
