Description
Last Friday, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my Airline was missing from my backpack after I stopped for a quick chat on Court Street, near the Athens Public Library. It's a small tan envelope with a simple 'Airline' label on the front, the kind I kept to remind me of travel plans. The loss stings because the paper inside holds the boarding pass and itinerary for a trip I was meant to take next week. I'm hoping someone picked it up on the benches by College Green and turned it in at the library desk or a campus service desk nearby.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
