Lost hoops in Orlando
Description
I’m Omar Ruiz, and I misplaced my hoops while walking through Lake Eola Park around 6:45 p.m. today after sunset. They’re a pair of gold hoop earrings, simple but valuable to me, and they disappeared while I was crossing the brick path near the fountain. I’ve retraced the route along the spiraling walkway and asked nearby vendors, but no luck yet. I feel unsettled and frustrated because they’re the pair I wear almost every day. If you found them anywhere near the Orlando SunRail station or along the path by Lake Eola, please let me know through the site. I’ll head over to pick them up at the park entrance at dawn.

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.
