Description
I was on the 13.25 bus from cork to galway yesterday. When I arrived in Galway, I discovered there was an identical suitcase to mine left on the bus (I was one of the last off). On getting home, I realised it wasn't my suitcase. Appears to have been a genuine mixup and I've reported to buseireann but I've got a flight to catch tomorrow so it's urgent. Anyone that can help would be much appreciated. It's a distinctive lime green "Trip" suitcase. I had it locked. Please contact 0909745220 if you can help!

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.
