Bags Stolen from Boot of my Car
Description
My car was broken into on Sunday 21st July while parked on a road near the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. Two bags were stolen. One was a Freitag blue and black rucksack belonging to my girlfriend, and the other was a black Puma gear-bag belonging to me. There were clothes, a pair of shoes, some toiletries, and a wallet inside them, among other things. There were no electronics, cash or anything of high value taken, only items of sentimental value to us. The wallet was my girlfriend's and had bank cards and identity cards in it. Please let me know if they are found anywhere nearby, in case they were dumped in the surrounding area.

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
- Garda 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 asking your local Garda station for advice first.
Keep communication on Lost.ie
- 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, PPS numbers, or copies of your ID.
