I lost my black satin floor-length gown by Adrianna Papell, size 6, yesterday around 3pm. I was leaving a charity gala near The Shambles and York Minster area, wandering toward Coppergate Shopping Centre when I realized it wasn't on my arm anymore. The gown has a detachable crystal belt that catches the light, and there's a tiny snag on the left shoulder strap plus a faint wine stain on the inner lining. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother—and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.
I lost my navy blue North Face parka yesterday around 3pm outside York Minster near The Shambles. It's a medium size, a bit pilled from wear, with a detachable faux-fur hood and a silver zipper. On the left chest pocket there's a small red enamel heart pin, and inside the left pocket is a folded map of York I used as a bookmark. It has sentimental value—my sister gave it to me last winter—and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me; I can offer a small reward.
Hey, I lost my white plastic student ID card yesterday around 3pm near York Minster, specifically on Deangate by the Post Office and the Shambles Market entrance. It's the University of York student ID with my photo on the front, where I'm wearing a navy hoodie, and a thin red stripe along the top edge. The card is a bit worn and there's a noticeable scratch on the bottom left corner. It has my name, Priya Patel, and my student ID number printed on it. It matters to me a lot because I use it to get library access and building entry; it also has sentimental value since it was given by the department last year. If found, I'd really appreciate a quick ping—text or email—and I can meet to collect it.
I lost my silver pocket watch yesterday around 3pm near the Shambles Market entrance on The Shambles, York. It’s a vintage Elgin pocket watch with a polished silver case, about 2 inches across, attached to a brown leather fob chain that’s a touch tarnished. The back is engraved with the initials 'J.R.' and there’s a small scratch across the glass; the dial is white with Roman numerals and blue steel hands. This watch belonged to my grandfather and means a lot to me, so I’d be really grateful to get it back if someone happened to find it.
I lost my brother, Amir Hassan, 28, yesterday around 3pm in York. He's tall, about 6 ft 2 in, with short blonde hair and a light beard, and he was wearing a bright red puffer jacket, dark jeans, and a blue backpack with a neon yellow rain cover. The last sighting was near the York Minster steps, with a quick look around The Shambles Market before he disappeared into the crowd. He has a small anchor tattoo on his left wrist and a faint scar above his right eyebrow. I'm really worried—he doesn't have his phone on him, and I just want him back safe. If you see him, you can message me here in the app; I can share recent photos and more details.
I found a neat vintage Star Wars action figure collection this afternoon around 2:15pm tucked under a bench near The Shambles Market entrance by York Minster, a Collectors Items find. The set sits in a small black zippered pouch with a clear plastic sleeve, and inside are about 12 loose figures plus 3 carded ones from the late 70s and early 80s. Some paint wear and scuffs are visible—one figure has a dented helmet, another's cape is frayed, and the card backs have yellowed edges. There's a handwritten note tucked inside that reads J.C. Collection along with a small price sticker, which are neat identifying details. If these belong to someone, I’d be happy to help reunite them with the owner.
I found this orange tabby this afternoon around 3:15pm, hanging out near the Shambles on Parliament Street, York. He's a medium-sized cat with a white chest, green eyes, and a tiny scar on his left ear. He's wearing a blue reflective collar with a small bell and a tag that might say Milo. He seemed calm and friendly once I spoke softly, and he's a bit dusty from the pavement but otherwise in good shape. If this matches your cat, send me a message and I’ll help reunite you.
I found a red tool box along the sidewalk near the entrance of York Park. It was surprisingly heavy and packed with several hand tools, including a hammer, pliers, and a couple of screwdrivers. It looked like someone might have accidentally left it there while working on a project.
I found a lovely blue and white ceramic pitcher near the market in York. It looks like it might have had some sentimental value, as it wasn't just a regular item – it has a unique hand-painted design. If anyone is missing this piece, please reach out to me with details so I can return it.
I found a beautiful vintage copy of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' lying on a bench in York Park near the old fountain. The book has a distinct cover with a feather illustration and an inscription on the first page. I picked it up, hoping to find its owner, as it looks like it holds sentimental value. If this sounds like yours, please reach out!
