Lost card wallet/purse
Description
I lost a small black wallet with some personal cards (mostly membership and loyalty cards) and some postage stamps and a few other bits sometime between midday Thursday 2nd June and afternoon of Saturday 4th June. Possible locations in Clare are outside JP Clarke’s at Bunratty and then later on 2nd in Cork are Blarney village, Blarney Woolen Mills Hotel, Ballincollig Church and Oriel Hotel Ballincollig, on the Friday 3rd at The Fern Hill House Hotel In Clonakilty. It is small black patterned wallet with a gold ring on the closing button and is made by Lancet or Lancer. Sentimental value asa gift from someone, not concerned about contents but would like to get it back, even without contents.

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.
