My boyfriend works as a DJ in No.4 Dame Lane and in Anseo on Wexford Street. On Sunday night he left a box of 45s (a little hand held silver box that held about 100 records) in the back of a taxi in Rathmines. He is tearing his hair out as this collection took him years to build up and although it wouldn’t be valuable to anyone else it is extremely valuable to him.

If you could mention this on your show he would be so grateful as this box is terribly important to him.

Here are some of the records that were in it –
