CAN YOU HELP?????
Let’s see if we can work wonders again
=================

Dear folks, I come to you in a time of need.

I have lost my beloved, deeply beloved heavy metal battle jacket that I have carried with me for years and I am sick to the stomach that I so carelessly left it behind. It is one of a kind and unmistakable.

It was left this morning in the upstairs male bathroom at a McDonalds not far from Melbourne central, but I have been unable to retrace my steps sufficiently.

I have very little hope, but if someone finds my jacket, please please please contact me either via:

Direct message here on facebook
Phone: 0400815564
Or email: [email protected]

This jacket means the world to me. If anyone has any information I would be very appreciative. Thank you sincerely.
