Dublin 14 Lost listing Posted over 11 years ago

Description

Black leather case on my phone. Taxi man stole it on me but as it was still ringing up until now I am hopeful he might have just threw it out somewhere. Taxi that dropped me off at Bewleys Hotel Leopardstown grabbed my phone and drove off. Black taxi man, very angry person. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Unfortunately didn't get his registration number.

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, cafĂ© 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.
