Description
My daughter Isabel lost her cell phone in Dublin June 14th, the last night of our visit; a trip celebrating her graduation. It is a black Samsung Galaxy S7, in a case inside of which is her cancelled ATM Card and ID, which can identify it as hers. She wanted to visit Ireland for ages, has all her pictures from the trip on it and is completely distraught. We would gladly pay shipping (we’re in San Francisco) and a finders fee for its return. It was lost walking from Trinity College to near O’Connell and Parnell. Hoping some kind hearted person can help. Thanks

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.
