Description
I was in Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday around 5:40 PM, wandering along the riverfront near the Sergeant Floyd Monument. I had taken off a few shirts to air them out, and I set my bag on the wooden bench by the path. A breeze and a couple of joggers passed, and when I turned back they were gone. My heart sank; those shirts were practical, not fancy, but they meant something for the week ahead. There are three in total: a navy tee with a white star, and two gray button-downs. If you spotted a small pile on that bench, please hang on to 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.
