Sterling silver heart necklace, initials EM
I lost my sterling silver heart necklace yesterday around 3pm outside the Covered Market entrance on Cornmarket Street in Oxford. It’s a slim 18-inch chain with a small heart pendant, and the back is engraved with the initials EM. It’s sentimental to me—my sister gave it to me, and I wear it every day—so I’m really hoping it’s found. The chain has a slight tarnish from daily wear and there’s a tiny scratch on the heart that I’d recognize.
Blue hardcover copy of The Remains of the Day
I lost my blue hardcover edition of The Remains of the Day yesterday around 5pm near Blackwell's Bookshop on Broad Street in Oxford. The spine is cracked and the dust jacket has a small tear at the top edge, with a coffee ring on the front cover. Inside the front cover I left a note with my initials 'P.P.' and the date; I also flagged page 214 with a bright yellow sticky note. It has sentimental value—it's a gift from my late aunt, and I really need it back.
Brass pocket watch found on Broad Street
I found a brass pocket watch this afternoon around 2:15 pm on Broad Street near the Covered Market in Oxford. It's a small brass case, about 2 inches across, with a glass face and a worn black leather fob. The back is engraved with the initials 'P.K.' and the glass has a tiny crack; the ticking is still steady when I move it. I know it probably meant a lot to someone, so I’d really like to help get it back to its owner.
Red emergency contact card lost in Oxford
I lost my red-edged emergency contact card yesterday around 4pm somewhere near the Bodleian Library on Broad Street in Oxford. The card is the size of a credit card, white with a thin red border, and it has 'Emergency Contacts' printed on the front. My name, Emma Patel, is on it along with two phone numbers: my campus line and my mom's cell. In the lower-right corner there are etched initials 'EP' and a tiny Oxford crest sticker on the back. It's not just a piece of plastic—it's how I reach family in an emergency, and I really need it back. If you find it, please text me at [email protected] or call my campus line; I can meet you anywhere near High Street or Broad Street to grab it.
Lost gray tabby with blue collar, Milo
Hi there, I'm really worried about my cat Milo. He's a medium-sized gray tabby with a white chest and two white paws, and he wears a blue nylon collar with a tiny silver bell. I last saw him yesterday around 6pm near the Covered Market on Broad Street in Oxford; he dashed off when a cyclist zoomed by and I couldn't catch him. He has a small notch on his right ear and a faint white spot on his nose, which I hope helps someone recognize him. Milo is usually affectionate but skittish with strangers, so I'd be beyond grateful to get him back home; he's my family's little shadow and this has been really stressful.
Lost round silver bracelet in Oxford
Please help! I lost a round silver bracelet in Oxford between 10.30 AM and 7.30 PM on 22 March, likely while cycling between Mount St/Jericho and Manor Rd/St Catz (via Lamb and Flag passage), or between Manor Rd/St Catz and Hill Farm/Marston (via the Marston bike path starting at Uni Parks, Crofton Road Playground). The bracelet is a bit less than half an inch of width and has a woven pattern in the middle (see photo). It has a stamp with 825 inside. It is jewelery I inherited from my late mum, so has huge personal value. REWARD OFFERED! Please email [email protected]

I lost a small brass compass with a brown leather fob yesterday around 3pm. It's about 2 inches across, with a worn brass finish and a tiny crack in the glass. The back is engraved with the initials 'LH' and there’s a frayed blue thread looped through the brass ring. The category is Other Miscellaneous Items. It was a gift from my grandfather and means a lot to me, especially for my field trips, so I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Black Labrador mix with red collar near Broad Street
I lost my black Labrador mix named Scout yesterday around 3pm near the Covered Market on Broad Street in Oxford. Scout is about 60 pounds with a short black coat and a white patch on his chest. He wears a bright red collar and a blue name tag that says 'Scout'; there's a small scar on his right ear from a toy incident last year. He can be a little wary of strangers but he's friendly and loves treats. Our family is really worried—Scout means the world to us and I really need him back.
Blue Contigo mug with octopus sticker
I lost my blue Contigo travel mug yesterday around 4:15pm near the Covered Market on Cornmarket Street in Oxford. It's a 16-ounce stainless steel mug with a matte blue finish, a black lid, and a red button you press to open. On the bottom there's a small white octopus sticker I stuck there myself, plus a faint coffee ring stain around the rim from daily use. It’s a little scuffed from being banged around in my bag, but it still keeps heat surprisingly well. This mug is sentimental because it was a gift from my aunt overseas, and I really need it back. If you’ve seen it, please message me—I’ll swing by the Market or the university library to pick it up.
Brass Yale keys on red keyring, Oxford
I lost my set of keys yesterday around 5:30pm after I left the bus stop at Queen Street by the Covered Market on Cornmarket Street in Oxford. It's a standard brass Yale house key on a bright red silicone keyring, with a small silver USB drive and a tiny enamel penguin charm attached. There are about six keys in total, and one key has the initials 'AH' engraved on the head. The whole thing is a bit worn and has a few scratches. This set opens my flat, mailbox, and bike lock, so it's really stressing me out to be without them. If anyone found them, please get in touch—I’d be forever grateful to get them back.
iPhone 12 in pink case, cracked screen
I lost my iPhone 12 in Oxford yesterday around 3pm. It's a 64GB space gray phone, with a pink silicone case and a small scratch along the bottom edge; the back has a faint coffee smudge, plus there's a penguin sticker near the camera I stuck on last month. I think I left it on a bench outside the Covered Market on Broad Street, near the entrance to the Oxford City Bus stop. The screen is cracked from a fall last week, but it still works. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my sister—and I really need it back. If you found it, please message me; I’d be forever grateful.
Red knit scarf with reindeer pattern
I lost my red knit scarf yesterday around 3pm outside Blackwell's on Broad Street in Oxford.

On the inside corner, my grandmother's initials 'M.S.' are embroidered in black thread—easy to spot if you know me. It's a winter-seasonal item that I wore all season, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandma who passed away. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'd be so grateful to get it back.

Yellow Makita 18V drill in yellow case
Yesterday around 3pm I was helping a friend move stuff outside the B&Q on Botley Road, Oxford, and I must have set my drill down and walked off. It's a yellow Makita 18V cordless drill in a yellow hard case, with two 2.0Ah batteries and a charger. It’s in pretty good shape, just a few scuffs from use, and there’s a blue sticker with the initials 'P.R.' on the battery plus a tiny dent on the chuck from a dropped drill bit.

One unique feature is a small fern-shaped pin attached to the inside of the bodice tag, with a faint perfume scent from last night. I'm hoping to get it back to its owner soon; happy to help return it through the app.

Lost black corduroy shoulder bag with enamel white butterfly
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 🙂
