lost: Photographs in Richmond, IN
Description
I lost my Photographs during a rainy afternoon in downtown Richmond around 1:10 p.m. on Wednesday. I was walking from the Reid Memorial Hospital area toward the Richmond Art Museum along Main Street when I realized a small album was missing from my tote. The photos are black-and-white prints from college projects, a mix of candid shots and family snaps—some with notes in the margins in blue ink. The album is worn, the spine creased, and a string bookmark sticks out. The loss stings because these are memories, the kind you flip through on a quiet night. If it shows up anywhere near the Wayne County Courthouse, I would be grateful.

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.
