Description
LOST: These photographs mean the world to me. I spent this afternoon rifling through a stack of old prints, hoping to salvage a few memories from my grandmother’s wedding trip. I think I left them on a bench near the Michigan Theatre on West Michigan Avenue around 3:30 pm today. The photos include faded black-and-white portraits and a few color snapshots from a summer in the 1990s; they’re irreplaceable to my family. My hands shake a little when I think of the box’s missing contents, and I’ve replayed every moment in my mind since then.

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.
