Lost belts near Tropicana Evansville
Description
Last Friday around 9:15 p.m., after the basketball game at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana, I think I slipped off my two belts while wiping sweat and forgot them near my seat. They’re black leather, one plain and the other with a stitched edge and a silver buckle. I last recall walking toward the riverfront lights of the Tropicana Evansville, but somewhere along that stroll they disappeared. Losing them stings because they’re practical and go with most outfits, and they reminded me of my daily routine. If someone found them, I’d be grateful beyond words and buy them a coffee as thanks.

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.
