Lost brooches near Aggieville, Manhattan
Description
I was walking back to the K-State Union on a windy Friday afternoon around 2:15 p.m., near the campus bookstore, when I realized my brooches were missing. The two delicate pieces—one with a small emerald centerpiece and another with tiny pearl accents—were last pinned to a scarf I wore for the campus photo, and I remember their colors catching the light by the glass atrium. I felt a knot in my stomach because those brooches belong to my grandmother and carry a lot of memory. If anyone found them outside the Aggieville shops, please hold onto them; I’d be grateful to get them back where they belong.

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.
