LOST: Travel Adapters in South Bend / Michigan
Description
Last Tuesday at 4:45 p.m. I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack while standing outside the Studebaker National Museum on Michigan Street in South Bend, Indiana. I had just finished a quick coffee and was headed toward the riverfront when I noticed the gap in my bag. The adapters are the universal kind with a black body and a red ring; nothing fancy, but essential for my conference next week. I’ve checked the nearby benches and the cafe, retraced my steps along West Washington Street, but they’re nowhere to be found. It’s frustrating, and I’d really appreciate finding 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.
