Description
Hey there, I’m Alex Martinez. I lost a batch of CDs this afternoon near Music Man Square in Mason City. It was 4:30 PM on Friday; I had them in a black zip pouch with a small red sticker, and I was sitting on a bench outside the square to charge my phone before heading to the library. I might have left the pouch on the concrete pedestal by the street corner or tucked it into my backpack. Those CDs include irreplaceable live recordings from last year, and I’m anxious about retracing my steps. If someone found them, please let the site know so I can reclaim them.

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.
