Description
My oboe has been stolen from my house in Glenageary today 27/09/2017. Can you please keep an eye out in music shops, pawn shops or sale websites. Reward offered for its recovery. Its a Marigaux 901 conservatoire system s/n 19376. It was in a black case with a black cover. The instrument comes in 3 sections and the inside of the case is maroon. Please share this with everyone, I'm devastated.
There are also small boxes inside the pocket of the case cover containing reeds and scraping knives. phone 087 4186309

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.
