I've found a 2013 Pocket Diary, it appears to belong to Hazel Childs. Found in the street outside the YMCA building in Westgate Street. This was late last night. I would like to return it as it already has plenty of entries in it and I'm sure it's owner would like it back.
If anyone knows Hazel Childs can you tell her to post here and we can make an arrangement to reunite her with said diary.

Might be worth dropping it off at the Police station...

I put the name in Facebook. The first one shows Lewes College but lives in Brighton. Worth messaging her.

I'm not a Facebooker, but have contacted College by email to enquire. Thanks for looking. I'll give it a day or two before handing it to Plod.

I have messaged Hazels Facebook account telling her of this thread - hopefully she'll pop by at some point.

Thanks, i'll hang on to Ms Childs diary a little longer then. Here's hoping she gets in touch.

When people lose things do they really wait around in case someone on Lewes Forum finds it, or keep checking their facebook account just in case the finder has been able to identify the correct person of that name and messaged them? Surely the first place people go is the police station? Why didn't you just hand it in when you found it? She could have had it back days ago.

That's a lot of faith you have in the old bill. Personally I think the FB route is a good one. It took the police 2 days to get to me when I was burgled. What chance does a girls diary have in their hands?

Thanks for your helpful posting confused. I don't think that a young person would bother to seek out Lewes police for a £2 diary. I believe the best course of action is to follow the course we're on. Young folk "live" on Facebook etc, maybe my email to her college will get a result.
Concern yourself with something else.

Not quite, not at all confused, but it's not such a silly suggestion. I found a purse a while back, handed it in at the police station and it was claimed the same day. All sorted. You see, the police don't come to you, you go to them. I wonder how your method is working meantime. Has Ms. Childs (if you are messaging the right one that is) picked up her diary yet, has she made any contact, or is she still blissfully unaware that Tango has it and gone and bought a new one? After all, it's only a £2 diary, so why bother? You could at least tell the police that you have it and leave your phone number. Only trying to be helpful, same as you.
