Description
I was tidying up after a small holiday gathering at my condo around 8:15 PM last night, near Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach. The decorations were in a clear plastic tote—garlands with red bows, some tinsel, and a framed ornament—things I planned to use for a community event. When I looked back, the tote had vanished from the doorway and a cold breeze felt like a warning. Losing them hits hard because they were a symbol of our neighborhood's festive spirit, and I'm hopeful someone picked them up and will return them where they belong.

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.
