Found: Black AirPods Pro charging case
Found a black Apple AirPods Pro charging case this afternoon around 4:15pm on the pavement outside Waterstones on High Street in Colchester, Essex. The case looks lightly used, with a small dent along the bottom edge and a blue panda sticker on the inside lid. No earbuds inside, and the charging light still glows when opened. It seems someone relies on it daily, and I figured I should post it here in case the owner is frantically searching. If this is yours, drop me a message with a notable feature (the sticker, or the slight dent) and we can arrange a safe pickup nearby, somewhere convenient in Colchester town.
Cream velvet ottoman with brass legs
I found a cream velvet ottoman yesterday afternoon around 3pm, sitting on the curb outside the Waitrose on High Street, Chelmsford. It's round, about 18 inches across, with four slender brass legs and a tiny snag along the front seam. The fabric shows a little wear from use but is still soft and sturdy, with a faint coffee ring on the top from a spill that never quite came out. If this is yours, I’d love to get it back to you—happy to hold onto it or meet up somewhere convenient in Essex.
White duvet cover with pale blue piping
I lost my white duvet cover set with pale blue piping from the Linen Loft line. It's a queen-size duvet cover, bright white with a neat row of pale blue piping along the edges, and there's a tiny coffee stain near the bottom corner from last weekend. I think I last had it yesterday around 3pm when I was changing my bed at my flat on High Street in Colchester, Essex, near the Co-op and the bus stop. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my late grandmother, and I'm really hoping to get it back.
Found cockatiel with orange cheeks near Colchester Castle Park
I found a cockatiel this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Castle Park gates off High Street in Colchester. It's a grey-and-yellow bird, about the size of a small pigeon, with bright orange cheek patches and a pale yellow crest that looks a bit slept-on. There’s a tiny red leg band on its left leg, and a few feathers along the tail are a touch ruffled from the wind. It seemed calm when I approached and hopped up onto a nearby bench, then perched on my shoulder for a moment. I’m keeping it safe here and really hope to reunite it with its owner; if you think this might be yours, message me in the app and we’ll arrange a meetup to return it.
Found concert ticket stub near Chelmsford High Street
I found a concert ticket stub this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Riverside Shopping Centre on Chelmsford High Street in Essex. The ticket is for a show called 'Midnight Skyline' at The Civic Theatre on May 9, 7:30pm. It's for Section B, Row 3, Seat 7, with a bold red VIP stamp and a scuffed barcode. The paper is a bit creased but still legible, with a purple border and black lettering. If this belongs to you, I’d like to help you get it back—I know how stressful it can be to lose something like a gig ticket, and I’m happy to coordinate a safe meetup near the station or drop it at the Essex Lost & Found.
Plush dragon with yellow ribbon found near Lakeside
I found a soft mint-green plush dragon this afternoon around 3:40pm near the Lakeside Shopping Centre main entrance by Costa Coffee in Essex. It's about 12 inches tall and has purple wings, a bright yellow ribbon tied around its neck, and a tiny star patch on its chest. The fur feels a bit dusty from walking around the mall, and there's a small scuff on the nose, but otherwise it's in good condition. I figured someone might be missing a beloved toy, and I hope its owner sees this and retrieves it soon.
Student ID card on red lanyard, Colchester
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my university student ID card was missing. It’s a standard University of Essex student ID on a bright red lanyard, kept in a clear blue sleeve. I think I last had it near Colchester Library on High Street, outside the cafe, before I walked home. The photo on the card shows me in a gray hoodie, and there's a tiny scratch along the lower-right corner with a blue sticker on the back as a distinctive mark. This card is my key to lectures, the library, and campus facilities, so I really need it back. If you find it, hit me up at [email protected] and I’ll arrange to pick it up from Colchester Library or a nearby spot as soon as possible.
Silver bracelet with blue gem found near Colchester High Street
I found a silver bracelet with a small blue gem this afternoon around 3:15pm, lying on the pavement outside Waterstones on Colchester High Street in Essex. It's a slim, 7-inch bracelet with a tiny star charm dangling near the clasp; the blue gem catches the light and looks like a small sapphire. The chain shows a few light scratches but it's otherwise in decent condition. If the owner recognizes it, please drop me a message—I'd love to return it to you.
Brown Coach wallet with ID window
I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the Marks & Spencer on Southend High Street in Chelmsford, Essex. It's a brown calfskin bifold with a small blue stitch along the left edge and a photo window where a faded picture of my grandma sits. Inside are my driver's license, a few debit cards, and about £25 in cash. It’s really sentimental to me because it was a gift from my mom, and I’m worried about what it’ll mean without it. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
Blue UK passport with gold crest, slightly worn
I lost my blue UK passport yesterday around 3pm near the Chelmsford train station on Duke Street, outside Costa Coffee. The passport is a deep blue with a gold royal crest on the cover, a bit bent at the bottom-right corner, and the pages inside are a touch worn from travel. There’s a small travel-clinic sticker on the inside cover and a faint coffee stain along the edge from a long trip last month. I have an upcoming international trip and really need it back; it's the only form of ID I have right now, and it contains my name and photo that's essential for boarding. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be so grateful to retrieve it.
Black acetate glasses with initials N.R.
I was out yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on High Street in Colchester, Essex when I must have set my glasses down and walked off without them. They are matte black acetate frames with a subtle cat-eye shape, roughly medium size, and the left temple has the initials 'N.R.' engraved inside. There's a small scratch on the upper rim and a brown faux-leather case with a tiny crease; the case was tucked in my bag, but I think it might have fallen out. These glasses are my daily pair and they have sentimental value since they were a gift from my grandmother. I’m really hoping someone picked them up and can help me get them back.
Blue Ventolin inhaler with initials PP in sleeve
I lost my blue and white Ventolin inhaler yesterday around 3pm outside the main entrance of Colchester General Hospital in Essex on Turner Road. It was tucked in a light-blue silicone sleeve with my initials 'PP' written in black marker on the sleeve. The inhaler is small, a bit worn, with a few scuffs on the cap, but it still works and I really need it back for daily asthma management. This inhaler is essential for me, and losing it makes me anxious about a flare-up—any help would mean a lot. If anyone found it, please message me and I can confirm the sleeve details and initials to verify it's mine.
Leopard gecko with brown spots, yellow body
I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near Castle Park, by the bandstand and duck pond in Colchester, Essex. It's a small reptile, about 4 inches long, with a pale yellow body and brown spots. It has a tiny blue dot near the base of its tail and a slightly kinked tail from a previous injury. It lives in a clear 12x6 inch terrarium with a black lid, and I must have left the lid slightly loose while I was at the park. This gecko is beloved by my daughter and has sentimental value to us; I would really appreciate it if you could reach out so we can bring our little friend back home.
Keys on red lanyard with compass
I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near Southend Victoria Station in Essex. They’re on a bright red nylon lanyard with a small brass compass charm and a blue plastic key fob that says 'Home'. There are four keys in total, including the front door and a spare car key. The lanyard is a bit frayed from daily use, and the compass charm is slightly bent but still functional. This set has sentimental value because the keys were a gift from my mum, and I really need them back to get into my flat after work.
Black Garmin smartwatch with blue strap—found near Colchester Castle
I found a black Garmin smartwatch with a bright blue silicone strap this afternoon around 3:45pm in the car park behind Colchester Castle in Essex. It's in decent condition, a few light scratches on the screen and a minor scuff on the bezel. The back has a small engraving that reads 'M.K. 04/08', and the strap holes are a touch stretched from regular wear. The watch is about 42mm with a rugged, sporty look and the Garmin logo is clearly visible on the face. If you recognize it, drop me a message here and we’ll arrange a safe handover to the owner.
Found black leather wallet with red stitching
I found a black leather bifold wallet this afternoon around 4:15pm outside WHSmith on Head Street in Colchester, Essex. It's fairly worn, about the size of a standard wallet, with a small scuff on the bottom corner and a thin red stitching along the inner edge. Inside there is a Colchester Library card and a loyalty card for a local cafe, plus a tiny dinosaur sticker on one of the cards. There's also a photo tucked near the ID pocket. Wallet seems to have sentimental value, and I'd really like to get it back to its owner. If you're the owner, message me with the name on your license and we'll figure out a pickup near there.
Blue dog harness with pink paw print
Found a blue nylon dog harness this afternoon around 4pm outside the Tesco Express on High Street, Colchester, Essex. It's a size medium with a bright reflective strip along the back, orange piping, and a small pink paw-print patch on the chest strap. The fabric is clean, with a tiny fray on the edge from daily walks. It doesn't have an ID tag, so no owner details, but I know how stressful it is to misplace a pet's stuff—hope to reunite it with its owner. If this is yours, drop me a note here with a description of your dog's name or other distinguishing mark, and we can arrange a pickup nearby.
Red Hohner harmonica in blue pouch
I found a red Hohner Special 20 harmonica this morning around 9:15am in a blue zippered pouch, lying on the pavement near Castle Park by the High Street entrance in Colchester, Essex. The harmonica is used but in decent shape, with a few surface scratches and a tiny dent near hole 6; the red plastic comb is visible, and the pouch has a white star embroidery and a zipper pull engraved with the initials AM. It probably belongs to someone who busked or practiced here, and it feels sentimental because it might have been a gift or a memory from a gig. If this sounds like yours, message me and we can arrange a quick pickup near Colchester town centre.
Silver bracelet with turquoise bead and heart charm
I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 4pm near the Mercury Theatre on the High Street in Colchester, Essex. It's a slim sterling-silver piece with a tiny turquoise bead near the clasp and a heart charm engraved with the initial 'L' on the back. The bracelet is a bit scratched from daily wear, but the clasp still works and it sits comfortably on the wrist. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year. If anyone found it, send me a message and we can sort out a pickup.
White iPad with blue case found near Chelmsford High Street
I found a white iPad with a blue silicone case this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Tesco on High Street in Chelmsford, Essex. The screen is clean and bright, with just a tiny crack along the bottom left corner and a faint scratch near the home button. The wallpaper shows a cheerful dog photo, and the case has a small dent near the bottom edge—easy to spot if you know your device well. I'm keeping it safe and hoping to reunite it with its owner soon since it likely holds personal photos or notes. If it's yours, tell me a detail only you'd know, and I'll arrange a quick handover.
