Lost travel adapters on Ocean City boardwalk, Eastern Shore
Description
At 8:15 PM last Friday, I realized my travel adapters were missing after a quick snack break near the Ocean City boardwalk's Ferris wheel. I set my bag down on a bench by the lifeguard stand while I checked my hotel keycard and phone charger stash, and they vanished. I walked the length of the boardwalk, spoke to a couple shop clerks, and questioned a beachgoer or two, but the evening crowd kept me from finding them. These adapters are essential for my work trip and I’d be grateful to recover them. If you found a gray zip pouch with four adapters and my initials on it, please report it on the site.

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.
