Description
I was volunteering at a charity event in the Haymarket District in Lincoln on Friday around 4:20 PM when I realized my small bag of enamel pins was not in my pocket anymore. I had them clipped to a lanyard as I moved from 8th Street toward O Street to greet guests near the plaza. I likely brushed past a bench or dropped them on the crowded sidewalk. They are bright, meaningful pins and I would hate to lose them. If you saw pins near the brick sidewalks around the Haymarket, please let me know via the site. I will be checking the area again this weekend.

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.
