LOST: Breeds notebook near Capitol area.
Description
I realized my Breeds notebook was missing around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday after I grabbed a latte at a coffee shop on Dexter Avenue and headed toward the State Capitol grounds. It's a small, weathered notebook filled with dog-breed sketches and notes from our neighborhood dog-walking club. I muttered to myself, piecing together where I might have set it down—on a bench near the fountain or inside the coffee shop—and a knot of worry settled in my stomach. This book matters to me; it holds years of memory and plans for our next rescue; I’d be grateful if it turns up with someone who understands that.

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.
