Description
UPDATE 29/11/18: Coco has been found!
Coco disappeared possibly on Thursday 08 November 2018. We lost him either in Salthill between the Aquarium area and Mutton island - that side of the promenade, maybe even on the beach? - OR around the shopping centre on the Headford road (Tesco, Dealz, Lidl or Argos). Coco is beige/light brown in colour with no legs, and arms you can make in a knot, and a little face like a dog.
We know he is discovering the world right now but really, Coco, it is time to come home now because we miss you badly...

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.
