Description
Before Christmas I left my red and black backpack at the bus stop outside DKIT dundalk. Inside was a Asus laptop gold, in a black laptop bag with the charger, a purple purse with bank cards and other cards with the name Georgina Clarke. The laptop I was using was my aunts and I had work saved to it as I am a student. It also had sentimental value as family pictures were saved to it. I had a post on Facebook before Christmas, with no result. I am still hoping someone has the decency to return the laptop, regardless of everything else.

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.
