Description
At about 9:15 pm last Friday, I realized my handheld game console and a second smaller handheld were missing from my bag after I stopped for a coffee on Ocean Drive, just south of Lincoln Road in South Beach. I had left them on a chair by the outdoor seating before stepping away for a moment; when I returned, they were gone. The blue handheld is my main device with a cracked sticker, and the second is a black compact console I use for travel. If anyone found them around Lincoln Road or the nearby paseo, I hope they were turned in to the Lost and Found.

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.
