Description
While strolling along the Juneau waterfront near the Alaska State Capitol steps this morning around 11:20 am, I spotted a handful of pins lying on the concrete near a bench. I picked them up, thinking the owner might have dropped them during the busy tourist rush. The pins are bright enamel with various shapes—an orca, a totem pole, and a tiny bear—clearly someone’s collection. I don’t know who they belong to, but they seemed meaningful. If the owner sees this, I can arrange a meetup at a convenient spot; I’m glad to help reunite these keepsakes.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
