Lost: Studs near Market Street, Manchester.

Hi, I’m Emily Clarke. I was heading out from a gig near Market Street around 8:20 PM last Friday and realized one of my studs had stayed behind. They’re small silver studs with a tiny crystal in the center; I had them in a black velvet jewelry pouch in my coat pocket. I’m upset because I’ve worn them for years and they’ve become my lucky pair. If you were nearby outside Manchester Piccadilly Station or near St Peter’s Square, please take a look around the pavements by the tram stop.

Lost Handheld and Console in Manchester

I lost my Handheld and Console around 7:15 pm last Friday in central Manchester. I had just grabbed a coffee near Piccadilly Gardens and left it on a bench outside the Arndale, then walked away. I retraced along Market Street and through the square, but it was gone. It’s the device I use to unwind after long shifts, so I’m anxious someone might have kept it safe. If you found it, please keep it safe and let the site notify me so I can arrange collection.

Lost chokers near Manchester Town Hall

I lost my chokers in Manchester, United Kingdom, last Friday around 7:30 pm. I was out with friends in the Northern Quarter after a bite near the Arndale Centre when I realized my two black velvet chokers vanished from my bag. One has a tiny silver heart charm; the other has a small knot of thread where the ribbon frayed. I wandered toward Piccadilly Gardens and then back along Deansgate, hoping to spot them on a bench or on the ground under the streetlights. They matter to me because they remind me of a friend who moved away; I’d give anything to have them back. Please keep an eye out—my heart sank when I saw the empty bag.

Lost sheets from my Manchester flat

I lost my sheets around 9:15 a.m. today after a rushed morning in my Manchester flat on Oxford Road, just off Chorlton Street. I popped to a corner shop near Piccadilly Gardens and came back to find the laundry basket lighter and the sheets missing. They’re plain white with a subtle blue pattern and are the ones I rely on after long shifts. If anyone spotted sheets being moved along Oxford Road or near the Arndale Centre, please help me bring them back.

Lost sheet music near Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester.

I was in a rehearsal at The Bridgewater Hall around 3:15 p.m. today when I realized my folder of sheet music had vanished from the chair where I’d left it. The folder is a red-plastic cover with a few pencil marks and my initials scrawled on the inside flap. I hurried along Oxford Road toward Whitworth Art Gallery, hoping it hadn’t wandered far, but I didn’t see it. It means a lot to me to recover it before tomorrow’s rehearsal, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it shows up here.

Found postcards in Manchester city centre

While wandering Manchester’s Northern Quarter this afternoon, around 3:15 p.m., I found a bundle of postcards tucked under a bench near Afflecks Palace. They’re a colorful mix—handwritten notes, stamps, and photos that feel like a little time capsule of the city. I gathered them up and kept them safe, hoping the owner will see this and claim them. If you’re the owner and you recognize these, I’m glad to help reunite you with them.
