Black framed glasses with blue case, found near Piccadilly Gardens
Description
I found a pair of black Ray-Ban rectangular glasses this afternoon around 4:15pm near Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre. The frames are matte black plastic with a thin silver accent on the hinges, and the lenses look prescription but clear. They’re a fairly average fit for an adult, with a slightly worn nose pad from daily use. The inside of the right temple has the initials 'MJ' engraved, and the blue fabric case with a small white star pattern was tucked inside the glasses case. They seem well-kept overall, just dusty from the street. If this sounds like yours, I’d be glad to reunite them with you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
