Description
LOST Hoops. I stepped out of Pearl Street Bar & Grill on Main Street around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday and realized my gold hoop earrings were gone. I’d been talking with a friend near Riverside Park, and I probably brushed against a gust that knocked them loose. I walked the block twice, checked the sidewalks and benches, and even peered behind a bike rack, but they vanished. Those hoops are my daily comfort, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you found them, please drop them off at the downtown lost-and-found.

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.
