Lost Black, White & Orange River Island Long Wallet Style Purse - Left in Taxi from Camden Street to Dublin 12 Area at approx 1am Saturday night.
Description
I lost my purse on Saturday night in Dublin. It was left in a taxi that brought me from Camden Street to the Dublin 12 area but another passenger may have picked it up if they got in after me. It contained multiple cards with my name and it also contains photographic ID. There was also a sum of money in it, I can identify all cards and the amount of money in the purse at the time I left it in the taxi as proof I am the owner if the ID has been removed from the purse. There was more than one currency in the purse when it was left in the taxi. It contains some very sentimental items that cannot be replaced, one of which is a handwritten letter from my Mam. I would really appreciate the return of this purse as not only does it contain sentimental items, the actual purse was a gift too.

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.
