Found Holiday Decorations in Texoma, TX
Description
I was wrapping up the Texoma Christmas Market at Lake Texoma Park on Friday around 5:30 PM when I spotted a box tucked behind a bench by the lakefront gazebo. The contents looked festive but a bit dusty: several strings of warm white lights, a silver garland, and a handmade ornament taped with a red ribbon. I picked them up and brought them to the park shelter near the main entrance around 6:05 PM, hoping to help. These decorations meant a lot to the family who set them out, and the sight of them tested my heart a little for someone who lost them. I hope this helps reunite them with their owner.

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.
