Description
I'm Grace Bennett, and I lost a bundle of photographs from college days this morning around 11:20 a.m. on Caroline Street in Fredericksburg's historic downtown. They're tucked into a black leather wallet and include family shots from the 1990s and a few prints from the old Fredericksburg train depot. I remember hurrying past the cottages and shops near the Fredericksburg Amtrak Station, then realizing the wallet wasn't in my tote. These photos carry memories of my grandparents' WWII days, and losing them hurts more than I expected; this is a LOST item.

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.
