Lost bag with Macbook and ipad
Description
Hello there,
My name is Ruby Corcoran, I am looking for help with something. I have lost a bag in a taxi Friday night, which contained my 15inch Macbook Pro, an Ipad Pro, and numerous other personal possessions. The overall cost of the contents and the bag itself is of high value. I have 3 years worth of college work and personal files on the laptop, which is devastating for me as I feel I've just lost 3 years work of a degree.
The bag was lost in the Inchicore area, after a night out, and I'm not 100% sure if it was left with the taxi man, or if someone had taken it after I left the taxi.
If you could help me get this message out there. I am under the possibility of failing the college year without my Macbook, and losing 4 months of the year having to work to save up for a new Macbook before next year. Im a graphic design student in IADT working without a laptop is completely impossible in this course unfortunately. My macbook is my everything work wise.
The details of the bag and contents are:
Laptop Macbook pro 15" grey (serial number: C2QQQ07UG3QC), ipad pro 9.7" 32GB (serial number: DMPSP39LH1MD) white and gold, there was a receipt from Compu B on Grafton street after just getting the screen replaced (it has my name, number and address on it), brown glasses, a black jacket from Bershka and some other bits of clothes, my purse with an Ulsterbank debit card and some other personal items.
The other contents apart from the Macbook are not as important there are just stated here as a tool to help me find my laptop if it helps identify the bag in anyway.
Any help would be so appreciated, I would be forever grateful.
From a poor sad student, with nothing else to lose.
Ruby Corcoran.

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.
