Missing black Samsonite suitcase
Description
Please help me share my mother’s story. A friend of hers was en route returning my mother’s wedding outfit (White short sleeved top with V detail at the neck; Rose Gold Pleated Skirt; matching rose gold coloured bag and jewellery of sentimental value). It was Saturday 20th of October, she got on a dublin 15 bus from Connolly south bound at approximately 12.20. She placed a black samsonite cabin sized case into the case rack beside the bus driver. There was a similar case already there (not Samsonite). A gentleman disembarked at Eden Quay lifting the Samsonite case leaving the wrong case behind. Would feel it was a genuine mistake. CCTV footage has been sent to Ringsend headquarters and Rathfarnham Garda station so you can contact either places if you have any information. Not only that you can private message me here on facebook. Very anxious to retrieve this case so please please share this story.

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.
