Lost sheets in Brainerd, Minnesota
Description
I lost my sheets last Tuesday around 9:15 PM in the Brainerd Public Library parking lot after a quick stop at a coffee shop on 7th Street. They’re a plain queen-size white set, with a thin gray stripe along the edge. They mean a lot to me because they’re for my grandmother’s bed and she’s staying with us this week. I remember folding them neatly on the back seat of my sedan, then driving away without realizing they’d slipped from the trunk. If you saw them anywhere near the library entrance or the loading zone, please keep them safe. Losing them feels like I let her down, and I’m hoping to bring home a little calm for our home.

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.
