Puffy the teddy bear
Description
I’m the wife of Bellamy Roth, who was visiting Dublin over the weekend to attend a trade event. My husband left his bear in his hotel room on Monday morning when he checked out. The hotel was THE HOTEL RIU PLAZA THE GRESHAM DUBLIN.
We are distraught at the thought of losing our 30 year old bear.
It would mean the world if you can please publish this story to try to track him down.
My husband checked out Monday 6 March in the morning around 10am, he was staying in Room 2268. He checked in on Sunday 5 March for 1 x night and is called Bellamy Roth.
We are certain Puffy the bear was caught up in the sheets.
The hotel is huge and so they have told us they send the bed sheets to be laundered offsite at a linen company. But we cannot get to the bottom of who this company is?
I should explain as we live in Buckinghamshire in England this is very hard for us, as we are not on the ground in Dublin.
Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Zoe

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.
