Lost black corduroy shoulder bag with enamel white butterfly
Description
I have lost a black corduroy shoulder bag with an enamel white butterfly. Inside the bag is my bank cards (frozen), ID and house key, as well as my NHS work ID. I believe I left it on the bus, either the 15 to Wood Farm or the 3A to the Lidl in Cowley between 8:50am and 9:10am on Thursday 5th Feb. For the 3A, I got off at Queens Lane and for the 15, I got off at Roosevelt Drove. I have been informed by Oxford Bus Company that it has not been handed in and the drivers did not find it when they returned the buses to the depot at the end of the day/shift.
Please could you contact me if you have found this so that we can discuss drop off
If you have found this, it would be really helpful if this could be dropped off at the Churchill Hospital, The Oxford Bus Company - Travel Shop at Gloucester Green, or the Oxford Bus Company depot in Cowley depending on what is most convenient to you 🙂

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.
