Lost Breeds in central Phoenix

near the light rail stop at 3rd Street and Van Buren Lost listing Posted 13 days ago

Description

Hi there, I’m Grace. I realized around 8:15 PM on Tuesday that my Breeds binder wasn’t on the bench where I left it during a quick stop near the light rail stop at 3rd Street and Van Buren in Phoenix. I had stepped away to help a neighbor with some errands, and when I got back it was gone. Inside the binder are notes, sketches, and labels for a community project I’ve been building about dog breeds, and losing it hits hard. I’m hoping someone found it and turned it in—if you did, please keep it safe; it means a lot to me.

How to safely get your item back

A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.

Verify the finder before meeting

  • 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.
