Description
Hi, I'm Sofia Martinez. I lost my travel adapters while wandering along State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, near Stearns Wharf. I had stopped for a quick coffee and was jotting notes for a trip when I realized the adapters were missing. They are essential for staying connected, and I am anxious about making the next leg of my journey without them. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to know so I can arrange a pickup through the site.

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.
