Description
Last Tuesday at around 6:15 p.m., I was wandering the Milwaukee Riverwalk by the Third Ward when I realized my belts were gone. I had stopped near the Milwaukee Public Market for a coffee, and when I checked my bag, the two belts -- one black leather, one brown with a brass buckle -- were nowhere to be found. Those belts have seen me through countless days and a few tight situations, so I am feeling oddly exposed without them. If you spotted them around the riverfront or the market area, please keep an eye out for a missing pair of belts.

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.
