Description
I found a GPS device today in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, United States, around 2:30 PM on a bench outside Lehigh Valley Mall in Allentown. It’s a small black unit with a cracked screen and a sticker bearing coordinates. I picked it up and brought it to the mall’s lost-and-found, hoping the owner would recognize it. The area near the entrance by the food court was bustling with shoppers and the scent of pretzels in the air. The device will mean a lot to its owner, and I hope it helps them reconnect with it soon.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
