Description
On a breezy Saturday around 2:15 p.m., I was helping unload for a community cleanup along Main Street in Watertown, Northeast SD, near the Codington County Courthouse. A gust knocked a bin and I realized my shirts were missing from the back of the cart. They’re plain cotton shirts in three colors, all worn for a family gathering this weekend, nothing loud or fancy. I’m frustrated and worried, but I’m holding onto hope that someone who finds them will bring them back through the site.

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.
