Lost Samsung S9 with a golden glitter case
Description
Dear Social Network Generation,
I’ve lost my Smartphone Samsung S9 in the Oliver St. John Gogartys Pub in Dublin on February 8th. Unfortunately, it wasn’t given to any of the stuff members or the Oliver St. John Gogartys Hostel next to the Pub. I find it really sad that in a time where everybody owns a Smartphone and knows the value of it a person is not willing to return it. The Smartphone was immediately turned off so we had no chance to locate it. The phone itself is not as important as all the pictures I took in Dublin and around Ireland and unfortunately I lost it before the regular backup process of my Samsung cloud was completed.
This is a plea to the person who found my phone to think about it one more time and see if he or she really needs the Smartphone so urgently. Obviously you had a enough money to get to Dublin and buy yourself a bunch of Guiness that night so I would assume you can also afford a Smartphone.
Thanks!
Jasmin

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.
