Description
I lost my Seiko solar watch yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market on Market Street in Oxford. It has a blue sunburst dial, a stainless steel case, and a brown leather strap that’s slightly worn in from daily use. There’s a tiny scratch on the bezel at 2 o'clock and the back is engraved with my initials 'P.P.'—it's sentimental because it was a gift from my sister. If someone found it, I’d be really grateful to have it back; we can arrange a meetup somewhere central in Oxford, like Carfax or outside the train station.

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.
