Description
HI,I LOST MY BLACK PURSE WHILE COMING BACK FROM LEISUREPLEX STILLORGAN AFTER 6PM ON FRIDAY 17TH OF JUNE 2016.IT HAD A BLACK AND GOLDEN BOW ON IT. I HAD MY BANK OF IRELAND ATM CARD IN IT,5 MEDICAL CARDS, I HAD MY GREEN PUBLIC SERVICE CARD, A CHANCE OF MY TESCO CLUBCARD ,NANDOS CARD, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS MY GNIB CARD FROM THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE WHICH I BADLY NEED. ON MY WAY FROM LEISUREPLEX I WENT TO "INGREDIENTS ASIANSUPERMARKET" (INDIAN SHOP) ON OLD DUBLIN ROAD NEAR BAUMANN'S WHERE I LAST USED MY PURSE. I CONTACTED THEM THIS MORNING BUT THEY DID NOT FIND IT IN THE SHOP. THEN I WALKED DOWN THE ROAD TO OATLANDS SECONDARY SCHOOL. I CROSSED AT THE LIGHT ON STILLORGAN ROAD OPPOSITE PRIORY THEN WALKED IN THE DIRECTION OF STILLORGAN PARK HOTEL BUT DID NOT GO IN THE HOTEL. THEN CONTINUED TO WALK ON THE PATHS AND TURNED TO MOUNT MERRION AVENUE. I WALKED DOWN MOUNT MERRION AVENUE TOWARDS BLACKROCK AND CROSSED AT THE LIGHT TOWARDS SOUTH HILL AVENUE. I WALKED THROUGH SOUTH HILL AVENUE THEN TURNED TO MERRION PARK. PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW IF ANYBODY FIND IT. WHAT MATTERS MOST FOR ME IS MY GNIB CARD.

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.
