Lost board games in the Northwoods
Description
Hi, I’m Mia Larson. I was setting up a family game night at my cabin on Maple Street in Eagle River around 7:45 p.m. last Friday when a breeze slammed the door and my box of board games vanished from the shelf by the window. The collection includes Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and a well-worn Monopoly set with a torn red cover. My heart dropped because these were gifts from my dad and the kids had been asking for them all week. If you found a shoebox-sized bundle behind the sofa or near the fireplace, please let me know through the site. I’ll come pick them up at the Riverside Park parking lot by the lake at first light.

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.
