Woman's appeal to find jacket lost on Glasgow bus goes viral

A Gourock woman has spent more than a month hunting for an 'irreplaceable' item of clothing she left on a Glasgow bus.

Stephanie Wood is desperate to be reunited with her beloved denim jacket, which she lost on July 16, because of the sentimental value it holds.

The 36-year-old had been on the 41 First Bus from Easterhouse to Glasgow city centre and got off at the St Vincent square stop, without realising she didn't have all her stuff.

After the bus firm's lost property came up blank, Stephanie, who works at Unit 19 Tattoo Studio in Easterhouse, launched a social media campaign to find her jacket.

But despite the appeal being shared hundreds of times, she's so far been unsuccessful in her quest.

Stephanie told Glasgow Live: "I cannot begin to describe how valuable this jacket is to me, from the pins and patches on it to the keyrings in the pocket.

"It's very distinctive and easily spotted, it's sentimental for many reasons and I desperately need it back.

"I bought myself the jacket during a bad depressive spell as a treat after I'd lost my job.

"It has patches on it that I made when I started a small online business after this, and another that my sister bought me.

"It's also covered in pin badges and almost all of them are sentimental: one my sisters clubbed together to buy for my birthday, one my stepdaughter bought me the first time we took her on holiday, and some my husband bought me the first time we ever went on holiday.

"Every single stitch means something."

Come on, Glasgow, do your stuff, let's help get Stephanie's jacket back where it belongs!
