Decorative Brass Zippo with a St. Christopher's Cross lost in Dublin.
Description
Lost a Brass Zippo on the 10th of December in Dublin City. It has a St. Christopher's Cross engraved on it, and latin writing on the side. I was in O'Connell's bar just off the bridge, but I believe the Zippo was lost in the Academy music venue. However, it could have been lost from walking the short distance from O'Connell's to the Academy also. A picture of it can be found here:

Has some sentimental value, so I'll pay a €50 reward to find it. It's a long shot, but worth a try in finding it. If +353 86 66 21 847.

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.
