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. It's a thick wool scarf, about 180 cm long, with a white snowflake pattern woven in and a small snag along the left edge. 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.
Missing person: young woman in yellow coat, Oxford
I lost my sister, Maya Patel, yesterday around 7:15pm after leaving the Westgate Oxford Shopping Centre. She's about 5'4", with shoulder-length black hair, wearing a bright yellow puffer coat, black jeans, and white sneakers. She also has a small tattoo of a star on her left wrist and was carrying a zebra-print tote bag. Last confirmed sighting was near Carfax Tower in Oxford city centre, heading toward High Street; I'm really worried and just want her safe back. If anyone spots her, please message me here—she might be disoriented in crowds and could need help.

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.

I really need it back—it's my main tool for weekend repairs and the go-to for DIY around the house. If you found it, please drop it off at the Oxford Lost & Found counter near Carfax or message me and I’ll arrange a pickup.
Black satin evening gown with silver brooch found
I found a black satin evening gown this afternoon around 2:15pm, lying over a bench outside Blackwell's on Broad Street, Oxford. It's a Calvin Klein collection piece, size UK 12, in good condition with a delicate silver brooch at the waist and a subtle crystal detailing along the neckline. The gown has a soft but sturdy feel and a navy-blue satin lining peeking from the slit at the back. 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.
