Found two toasters near York Galleria
At about 10:40 am on Saturday, I was walking near the York Galleria when I spotted two toasters tucked behind a bench by the food court entrance. They are clean, appear unused, and there were no cords or bags attached. I checked for a tag but there wasn't anything obvious. It struck me as odd to find two appliances just waiting for someone to claim them, and I would be glad to help them find their way home.
Found concert ticket to York Barbican show
I found a single ticket stub this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the Shambles Market on Shambles Street, York. It’s for a show at the York Barbican Centre—the stub is purple and says Aurora Live, with Row B, Seat 7, Section 210, and a barcode along the bottom. There’s a small coffee stain along the left edge and a tiny blue butterfly sticker on the back. The top corner has handwritten initials 'L. Chen' that might help verify ownership. If this is yours, I’d really like to get it back to you.
Green Moleskine sketchbook with dragon sticker
I lost my green Moleskine A6 watercolor sketchbook yesterday around 3pm near the Minster gift shop on Minster Yard in York. It’s a compact notebook with a forest-green cover and a small gold dragon sticker on the back, plus a slightly cracked spine from a spill last week. Inside are a few local landscape sketches and a note about a plein air meetup, plus my initials 'PP' penciled on the inside cover. This sketchbook means a lot to me—it's the first batch of ideas from my art course, and it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Teak coffee table with glass top
I lost my teak coffee table with a glass top yesterday around 3pm. It's a 3-foot-long mid-century piece with a carved teak frame and a tempered glass insert, plus a small chip on the front left leg and a sunburst grain along the edge. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me. I last saw it near Shambles Market on The Shambles in York; I think someone may have moved it to the back area by York Minster that afternoon. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Small black Bluetooth speaker with blue dragon sticker
Lost my small black Bluetooth speaker yesterday around 3pm near the York Station entrance on Station Road. It's about the size of a soda can, matte black plastic with a tiny dent on the top-right corner and a bright blue dragon sticker on the side. It’s my daily companion for playlists and conference calls on walks, and it was a gift from my sister last year, so it has sentimental value. I’d really appreciate getting it back; I rely on it during my commute and workouts. If you found it, I’d be grateful to reunite with it.

Lost gold link bracelet between Lawrence Street and Slip Inn
I’ve lost a gold link bracelet between Lawrence Street and Slip Inn Clementhorpe, walking between the two places yesterday. May be broken if it has fallen off.
Blue plush unicorn with pink mane
I found this blue plush unicorn this morning around 7:45am near the entrance to York Minster on Minster Yard. It's about 12 inches tall, made of soft fleece, with a bright pink mane and a tiny purple star sewn on its left flank. The toy looks well-loved; there’s a small scuff on one hoof and the tip of its horn is a bit flattened, which I figured might help identify it. It clearly belongs to a child and I’d love to see it back with its owner—if this is yours, describe the unicorn’s features (mane color, star patch, hoof scuff) and where you last had it, and we can arrange a meetup near the Shambles.
Lost gold necklace with birthstone and snowdrops
I lost a gold necklace with a birthstone, engraved with snowdrops and the phrase “In ev’ry moment” in the Woodthorpe area. It is of sentimental value
Black North Face backpack with red rain cover
I found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 4pm behind The Shambles in York. It's a medium-sized bag, a bit worn but solid, with a bright red rain cover tucked into the top pocket and a distinctive blue zipper pull on the main compartment. Inside there is a gray hoodie, a notebook with a fox doodle on the cover, and a coffee-shop receipt that shows the name 'York Café'. There are a few scuffs on the bottom, but otherwise it looks usable; if this is yours, drop me a message so we can arrange a pickup.

Found Kindle Paperwhite with blue case near Waterstones, York
I found a Kindle Paperwhite this afternoon around 3:20pm outside Waterstones on Coney Street in York. It sits in a blue fabric case and has a small white compass sticker on the back. The screen is clear, with just a faint scratch along the bottom edge from being tucked in a bag. If this is yours, message me in the app and we can arrange a safe handover.
Ivory duvet cover with blue stripe
I lost my ivory duvet cover with a thin blue stripe, Queen size cotton percale from IKEA. Yesterday around 3pm I was walking back from Waterstones on Parliament Street, near The Shambles in York when I must have dropped it along the sidewalk. It's a clean ivory color with a faint blue edge, and there's a tiny coffee stain on the bottom-right corner plus a small 'LM' initials embroidered on the inner corner. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please get in touch here; I’d be grateful to recover it.
Charcoal grey Nike hoodie with fox embroidery
I lost my charcoal grey Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Shambles Market on Stonegate in York. It's a size M, full-zip hoodie, with a neon-green zipper pull and a tiny fox embroidery on the right shoulder. The cuffs are a little stretched and there's a faint coffee stain near the hem—otherwise it's still in decent condition. This hoodie means a lot to me; it was a gift from my mom last year, and I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected].
Antique pocket watch with blue dragon motif
I lost my antique pocket watch yesterday around 4:15pm. It's a small gold-tone piece with a blue enamel dragon on the back and a glass cover that's scratched. Inside the lid there's a faint engraving 'M.R.' and a tiny serial number 'X-1978' that you can read in good light. I think I had it after leaving The Shambles Market by York Minster and walking toward Walmgate; it was a family heirloom from my grandfather and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you.
White AirPods Pro charging case with blue sticker
I lost my white AirPods Pro charging case yesterday around 5:15pm outside the Shambles Market entrance on The Shambles in York. It's the slim white case, a little dent on the lower left edge, and a tiny scratch near the hinge. There's a blue sticker with the initials 'PP' on the back, which helps identify it. Inside are the earbuds, but the case is what I’m missing, and I really need it back for daily commutes and calls. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister, and I'd be unbelievably grateful to get it returned.
