Description
I was waiting for the 7:15 train at Hoboken Terminal this evening when I realized my copy of Wild and Domestic wasn't in my backpack. It's a paperback with a blue cover and a coffee ring near the back—pretty worn from daily use. I had just finished a quick chat with a friend by the newsstand before we parted ways to catch our trains, and I must have left it on a seat or in my tote. Losing it feels like losing part of my routine, and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can get back there.

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.
