Description
Hi, I’m Nora Flynn from Eastern CT, and I can’t find my dresses after a charity fashion sale at Crystal Mall in Waterford. At 3:15 p.m. Sunday, I left a tote containing two dresses near the main entrance by Macy’s, and when I returned, the tote was gone. They include a light blue bridesmaid dress and a black cocktail dress, both with delicate lace. This is for a friend’s wedding next month, and I’m anxious about replacements. If you happened to spot anything matching those items near the Crystal Mall food court, please help.

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.
