Lost bus tickets near Houma Civic Center
Description
On Tuesday at about 7:45 p.m., I realized my bus tickets were gone from my jacket pocket somewhere between the bus stop and the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center. The glow of streetlights on Barrow Street and the river breeze are burned into my memory as I retraced my steps along Barrow Street and up Main Street, checking under benches and around trash cans, but they did not show up. Those tickets were essential for my trip and for the week ahead, so a sense of worry has settled in, mixed with a stubborn hope that someone might find them and return them. If you happened to see them, I would be grateful for any help.

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.
