Description
Last Friday at 4:22 pm, I was at the Carousel Bar on Royal Street, just off Bourbon, when I slid my gray cargo pants onto a chair while I checked my map. I stepped out for a moment to stretch my legs and grab a quick coffee, and when I looked back they were gone. They’re my everyday pair—soft, comfy, with a tiny fray at the left knee that somehow fits my Louisiana life. I’m anxious about the loss because these pants hold the last two weeks of errands and little memories. If someone found them near the chair by the door, I’d be beyond grateful to have them back on my hips.

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.
