Lost photographs in Evansville, Indiana
Description
Last Tuesday around 6:30 p.m., I was by the riverfront along Riverside Drive in Evansville when my photographs slid from my bag and vanished. The stack in a red folder held cherished old family pictures and a few recent snaps that tell the story of my grandparents and our summer road trips. Losing them feels like losing a part of my history, and I’m sick at heart thinking they might have fallen into the breeze and not turned up. I remember turning away to admire the Ohio River and then realizing they were gone. If they turn up near the Tropicana Evansville, I’d be forever grateful to have them back.

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.
