Lost: Holiday Decorations near Canton Square, Baltimore
Description
Last Saturday around 9:15 p.m., I was unloading decorations from my car near Canton Square along Fleet Street when I realized a box with holiday decorations had vanished. The box held several heirloom ornaments, a string of warm lights, and a few handmade pieces I treasure. I had parked near the market area and thought I set the box down briefly while grabbing a tote; when I turned back, it was gone. Losing these decorations isn't just about stuff—it carries family memories from last year's holiday gathering. I’m hoping a passerby found them and kept them safe; I’d be relieved to hear that someone has them and can reunite them with me.

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
