Description
I lost the drapes around 8:30 p.m. last Sunday, after I took them down in my apartment off West Washington Street to hang something lighter. The heavy charcoal drapes with a subtle damask pattern and matching tassels vanished from the living room window before I could stash them in the laundry room. Downtown bells ring at 9:15 and streetlights glow over the empty rod, a quiet reminder of what’s missing. They were more than fabric to me; they helped me settle in after a long week, and I’m hoping someone saw where they went.

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.
