Description
I lost my old toy Train around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday, from the coffee table in my apartment on 4th Street, Hanford-Corcoran. I had set it there after helping my nephew with a school project around 5:50 p.m., and when I returned, it was gone. The train is about seven inches long, blue with a silver whistle, and it has a tiny dent on the roof. It belonged to my late grandfather, so it's more than just a toy to me. I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe near there, because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s still nearby.

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.
