Description
I was leaving the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck around 7:45 PM last Tuesday when I spotted a small universal travel adapter lying on the concrete steps by the main entrance. It’s a silver unit with four plug types folded in, still stowed in a neat little carry pouch. It looked recently dropped by a traveler heading toward the riverfront path. I slipped it into my bag and brought it to the downtown Lost & Found, hoping the owner will recognize it. Travel adapters are so easy to lose when you’re crossing time zones, and I’d love to see someone reunited with theirs.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
