Lost Organizers at Peoria Riverfront Park
Description
I’m Emily Carter, and I’m a bit frazzled but hopeful. I lost my Organizers yesterday at 5:30 p.m., during setup for a charity run at Peoria Riverfront Park, near the Caterpillar Visitors Center. They’re a metal set, painted green with an orange stripe, a little scuffed from travel. I rely on them for the sign-up tables and the spacing between stations, and I can’t shake the thought they’re somewhere along the river path or under the small footbridge by the gazebo. I retraced my steps tonight and this morning, listening for the clink of metal against the pavement. If someone picked them up thinking they were junk, please know how important they are for keeping the event organized and moving smoothly.

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.
