Description
I was packing for a sunlit work trip on Saturday at 11:20 a.m. in Balboa Park after a quick bite nearby. I realized I had lost my adapters, a small case with USB-C connectors, while I was moving between my laptop and a power strip near the Botanical Building. I retraced my steps along Park Boulevard, past the palm trees and the lily ponds, but the case didn’t show up. These adapters are essential for my edits, and I’m feeling stranded without them during a big project. If someone turned them in, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

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.
