Description
Hi, I’m Lena Parker. I lost 'Wild and Domestic' this afternoon around 5:10 PM outside the Richmond Plaza on North 5th Street, in Richmond, Indiana near the Depot District. I had it in a light backpack while walking from the grocery store to my car, and a gust must have torn the pages from my bag. I checked the sidewalk and nearby benches, but it vanished; the paperback is a favorite and easy to replace, but it would mean a lot to find it. If you come across it, please hold onto it for 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
- 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.
