Description
On Friday, Sept 1, my phone was snatched from my hands. The guy was wearing a grey hoodie sweater so I couldn't see him clearly. He ran into the alley into the Sheridan Court Apartments and disappeared. With only one way out, I believe he may live there. He wasn't expecting me to follow. Phone is a black iPhone5 with a cracked camera on the back. It had a black battery case. It's not worth very much so I'm assuming he'll toss it or try to sell it cheap. It had a lot of photos I never backed up and hope someone will find it.

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.
