Lost Small Kids' Red Disney Cars (Lightning McQueen) Backpack
Description
Hi,
Took a taxi from Connolly to the ferry port (Irish Ferries) last Saturday (February 4) at around 7:20pm together with my 5yo. We had a bunch of things in the boot and ended up forgetting my son's backpack with Playmobil 123 toys (firetruck, tractor, excavator, dump truck, plenty of figures). The backpack is small, red, with a picture of Lightning McQueen from the Disney movie Cars on it, black straps.
The driver was male, probably in his fifties or early sixties, had a grand child/grand children he spoke about. Unfortunately, we got the taxi in front of Connolly so no app involved and no details on driver or car. I do remember he had a large Uber decal on the hood. The car was some sort of medium sized car, maybe a Prius or similar footprint.
Dear driver if you see this, the kids are desperate to get their toys back. :( If anybody heard of the backpack being found, please get in touch!

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.
