Description
Last Thursday evening, around 7:15 p.m., I was leaving the HUB-Robeson Center on College Ave after a late study session and realized my small pouch of coins had vanished from my pocket. My coins are a mix from family trips and a few old pennies I keep for luck. I remember pausing by the Old Main lawn to tie my shoe, then continuing toward College Ave, and that's when it must have slipped away on the stone path outside the building. They carry a lot of meaning for me, and I hate the thought of them being lost. I'm hopeful someone picked them up and will bring them back.

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.
