Lost trading cards from my collection
Description
Hi, I’m Maya Collins. I lost a small binder full of trading cards—mostly baseball and fantasy cards—during last Friday’s community event. It happened around 7:45 PM near the Main Street Gazebo in downtown Northwest KS, close to the old water tower by the library. The binder is tan with a red zipper and has a label that reads 'Kellum Collection' on the front. I’m sick with worry; some of these cards were gifts from my dad and a few are pretty rare. I’d be grateful to get it back. Please pass it through the site if you’ve seen it, and I’ll meet you to pick it up as soon as possible.

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.
