Description
Today at about 2:30 p.m., I realized my Breeds notebook was missing from a bench near the Harold B. Lee Library on the BYU campus in Provo. It is a battered binder labeled Breeds, filled with dog-breed charts, photos, and a few pages of breed standards. I would say I had been researching for a small project on dog breeds, and the notebook holds notes I cannot replace. I last had it near Centennial Park by the library around 2:15 p.m. If you found it on campus or around the library quad, please let the site know so I can recover it.

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.
