Friend's stuff donated behind her back, help!

Missiechan

Guys, I need your help. A good friend of mine has had some items of great monetary and sentimental value taken from her and donated to a charity shop behind her back. She is distraught and I am trying to help her track them down. The items are apparently in a charity shop near Glasnevin, possibly in Swords or Finglas. If anyone familiar with the area could give me a nod in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Better yet, if you could pop in and see if you can spot the following books:

*House by the Churchyard by Sheridan Le Fanu

*Unsticky and You Dont Have To Say You Love Me by Sarah Manning

*Gothic Dublin and Dublin Underground

We'll know we have the place and we can nab them before they get sold on. I can't stress enough what this means to my friend and I will bake the most enormous thank you cake for whoever can be of assistance.

Really ?

Does she not have eyes on the back of her head?

Why didn't she just turn around and catch them?

Sorry I can't help but I utterly sympathise with your friend. I notice they're all books.
I have lost books (or rather they have been lost for me) and I still miss them.
I hpe your friend gets them back.

Frosty McSnowballs

Have you tried whistling, maybe they will flop back?

El Guapo!

Couple of charity shops in phibsboro.


Where and when can I collect my cake?

I dont think you need worry too much about them being sold on OP.

They all sound fairly sh1t.

ringadingding

Skid X

That's a nasty thing to happen. I hope you get them back

Maybe try the Radio Stations if you have no luck, Ray Darcy would probably put the word out.

Worth a few bob though.

I am just back from my weekly book burning and I think I seen these books on the pyre, I can send you the ashes to sift through?

Artful_Badger

So basically, there's expensive books going cheap in a charity shop somewhere in Dublin. Treasure hunt !!!

NuckingFacker

OP sounds like a really nice person. Ah well.

* Un sticky and You Dont Have To Say You Love Me by Sarah Manning

Fyp.

Sounds porny tbh

ahnowbrowncow

The first two books are selling on amazon for £0.01.

So if I buy them and pretend I found them can I have the big cake?

Tommy Dillon

Does your friend have red hair? If so,ask her has she read pubes? Great read....

The quality of the books is irrelevant, they have sentimental value and are therefore worth searching for.

Genuine help is most appreciated, well wishing is also most appreciated, sarky comments are dismissed and time wasters will get no cake, but possibly a 5 pound bag of delicious Haribo Sugar-Free Gummi Bears, as seen here on amazon.com:

Why are you trying to hurt posters?

Review of sugar free gummibears:

When I got these, I couldn't contain my excitement and I ate about a quarter of a bag. Scenes from the movie 2012 could have been filmed inside my gut. There would have been less pressure to make two winning free throws in the NBA finals than for gas to escape my bowels. After a few hours, I had an EXTREME build-up of gas with no relief. All I could do was lie on my bed and pray for a fart. That might sound funny, but when you've eaten something that has basically turned you into the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka, you're pleading for relief. Well, the farts came and I lived through it but I not only had a visit from the fart fairy, but the sales rep from Montezuma's Revenge stopped by and gave me a FULL demo of their services as well.

As I type this review, I'm on the toilet, surrounded by my dearest family and friends and a priest. I'm not exactly sure whether this is an exorcism or if I'm getting my last rites read to me. This very well could be my final crowning moment. I may never make it back to my feet. What a way to go. Will I go out by suffocating in a toxic byproduct stench? Will I croak from my body expelling all essential nutrients for life? Is this the apacolypse?
What is occurring in my body right now may only be explained with the final 20 minutes of the movie Independence Day. The sweet gummy bears that I thought I had chewed and swallowed have now resurrected inside my bowels with a vengeance. The only thing that I can imagine they are doing is s***ting inside my digestive tract. Decomposed zombie gummy bear s***. This can't be all my s***. There's no way. That's not my s***. That's s*** from a supernatural entity living inside me. Literally nothing I've eaten in a dozen years could possibly turn my ass into a to-scale model of Mt. St. Helens, violently spewing what smells like a public bus filled with homeless people with fresh perms, in Mexico City at such a cyclic rate, that I'm worried the war veteran below me thinks he's storming Normandy again.
Shame on everyone who handled these bears before they made it to me. Shame on Amazon for making theses available for purchase. Shame on the guy in the warehouse who packaged this for shipment. Shame on the UPS guy for bringing this to my door. You all knew. I know you knew, and you knew I'd know. And you still let me do this to myself. Shame on you!
My last hope now is that the force of gas propelling from my anus may be strong enough to disturb Satan himself in hell. And that he is so angered by this that he sends an entire fleet of brave minions to come up through the toilet and put me out of my misery.

Just a theory

OP use the Dublin City forum you'l get a lot more help.
Also I'm sure you could probably ring around some of the shops in the morning, not sure if individual stores always keep the stock thats dropped in so they move out of the area.

You have all my sympathy, OP, however...

Irish Guitarist

Here's a couple of charity shops in Finglas. They have contact numbers so you could try ringing them. http://www.icsa.ie/shops/search-shops?search=finglas

Here's one in Swords. It has no contact number but it shows their address and there's a link to their website. http://www.icsa.ie/shops/dublin/north-co-dublin/ncbi-swords/
