Stolen Sam Murray wooden Trad Flute. Cash Reward. Not looking for retribution
Description
My fiancee's Sam Murray wooden Flute was stolen out of my car on Sunday night(08/1017) between 18:40 and 19:00. Near Heuston Station outside Guiness on the quays. They broke a window and rooted around and found it. It is in a black case with two "foghorn string band" stickers on it. It is irreplaceable and she has had it for 20 years. Cash reward offered. We just want the flute back. A dark green bag with my space grey ipad pro 12.9 inch(s.n- DLXTW0XBHPJ4) and apple pencil were also taken. Also in the bag was a pair of black Audio Technicha ATH-M50x headphones. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.
