Lost postcards I collected during a Harrisonburg trip.
Description
Last night around 3:15 PM, I was sorting through postcards from our trip to Harrisonburg when I realized a few were missing from my tote. I had left the tote on a bench near Court Square while I grabbed a quick coffee and snapped a photo of the courthouse. When I returned, the postcards were gone and I felt a real sting of loss—their images capture our family day together. This morning at 7:40 AM I walked the block along North Main Street again, checking the benches, the gift shop stool outside, and the little fountain area. If someone found them, please know how special they are to me and return them to the site.

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.
