Black Digital Camera and Tripod Lost in Taxi Boot
Description
I got a taxi home from an driver not belonging to any company. The journey was from Locks restaurant to near Northside shopping centre. The time was about 10pm. I only remember his name was Ahmed from Pakistan and that he used to work in Busaras in security before he was a taxi driver. He said he was just starting his shift so he might work nights. My dad left a digital camera in the boot with the pictures of my wedding on it. My dad put a bag with the camera and a tripod in the boot but forgot to take them out when he left the taxi. I'd much appreciate if anyone knows how to get in touch with Ahmed. My email is [email protected]

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.
