Description
I lost my travel visas while strolling the Gulfport Beach Boardwalk at sunset last Friday around 6:45 p.m. I had paused by the Fishing Pier to take a photo, and when I looked back, the brown folder with my visas was missing. The folder had a light-blue cover with my name on the corner, and the envelope inside carried important stamps and an itinerary. My heart sank—those visas are critical for my upcoming trip, and I’m scrambling to adjust plans. If you saw them or picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them turned in through this site so I can arrange the next steps.

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.
