Description
I lost my travel visas while hiking in Southeast Alaska last Friday around 6:45 pm near the Mount Roberts Tramway in Juneau. I was descending from the tramway overlook when a sudden gust shuffled papers out of my pocket and over the railing. The documents are simple, but they represent a planned trip that matters a lot to me, and losing them left me feeling stranded and anxious about what comes next. If anyone finds them, I’d be grateful to have them scanned back to me so I can sort the next steps.

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.
