Description
On Monday around 2:00 PM, I was moving boxes into my new apartment near the Peoria Riverfront Museum when I left a set of white bed sheets in the hallway to sort laundry. I stepped out to grab a carton, and when I got back they were gone. The set is plain white with a thin gray border and a tiny coffee-stain pattern on one corner from late nights. Losing them feels personal; they’re the first thing I had unpacked and they remind me of home. If someone found them around Adams Street by the riverfront, I’d be grateful to have them returned.

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.
