LOST memory cards near Milwaukee Public Market
Description
Hi, I’m Alex Carter. I realized at about 4:15 p.m. yesterday that my memory cards were missing from my backpack. I had been shooting in the Third Ward and stopped for a coffee at a little cafe near Milwaukee Public Market. The cards are two small SD cards, one labeled 'Projects' with a red sticker and the other plain with a blue sticker. Losing them feels like losing a thread of last weekend's photo session, especially since they hold travel photos from a recent downtown trip and family moments. I retraced my steps along East State Street, checked the benches outside the market, and even checked the trash cans near the beer garden. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to be reunited with those memories. Thank you.

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.
