Description
LOST: I was at the Capitol Building steps in Pierre around 9:15 a.m. today, tying a navy blue silk tie before a job interview, and somehow it slipped from my collar as I walked toward Main Street. It’s a simple thing, but it mattered to me for the day. The tie has a thin silver tie-pin and a small logo on the lining; it's not just any tie—it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found it, please think of it like a compass needle pointing back to my memories.

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.
