Description
I lost my Wild and Domestic item this morning, around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, near the Milwaukee Public Market along the Riverwalk. It’s a small brass sign with a rustic look, a gift from my grandmother that I’ve kept on my desk for years. I realized it was missing while walking from the Market toward the Third Ward, and the day suddenly felt a lot emptier. If you found a small brass sign with that phrase near the river, I’d be endlessly grateful to have it back.

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.
