iPhone 6, Stolen from The Workman's Club, Saturday July 18th
Description
My iPhone 6 was robbed from my bag in the smoking room area of the of The Workman's last saturday night after Longitude.
It was the 16GB Space Grey model in a very distinctive large Otterbox case that was green and purple. I've tracked the phone to an estate in Blanchardstown but the Gardai say Find My iPhone app isn't accurate enough to go knocking on doors. I would appreciate ANY help at all — I think I know the guy who took it and could identify him again.
I'm willing to buy it back. The phone is in Lost mode, blocked, blacklisted etc and useless to the thief unless for parts.

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.
