Lost: Postcards in Pensacola, Florida
Description
During a stroll along Palafox Street near Seville Square, Pensacola, around 4:45 p.m. last Friday, I must have dropped a small bundle of postcards from our trip. They’re colorful, filled with stamps from around the country, and some carry notes from my grandmother who’s no longer with us. I’ve searched the plaza, the waterfront, and the brick sidewalks, but there’s no sign of them yet. These postcards aren’t expensive, but they carry a lot of memories and history for me, and losing them feels like losing a piece of home. If you found them, please know how much they mean to me and claim them here.

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.
