Description
On Saturday around 4:15 PM I was strolling near Union Station on 25th Street in Ogden, flipping through a small stack of vintage postcards I collected during a Utah trip. I must have set them on a bench to zip up my jacket, and the wind whipped through the plaza. By the time I looked again, I realized I had lost them. The set includes views of the Great Salt Lake and a faded storefront on Main Street, and they felt like a link to a moment I shared with my grandmother. I’m scared I’ll never see them again, and I hate the idea of those memories slipping away.

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.
