Lost Pocket Watches near Fort Huachuca
Description
I realized my pocket watches were missing after I locked up my bike near the Fort Huachuca Main Gate around 6:15 pm on Tuesday. The two brass-cased watches—one with a blue enamel face and a small crest—were gifts from my late grandfather, and they carried so many memories. I retraced my steps along the pedestrian path by the visitor center, asking a couple of security volunteers if they'd seen anything, but the night had swallowed my clues. I’m hoping someone found them and will see this post. If they ring true to what I described, I’d be deeply grateful to have them back in my hands.

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.
