Description
I’m Grace Thompson, and I’m posting after realizing our holiday decorations vanished from the front porch last Friday night. I was tidying up after decorating Tyler’s Rose Garden area around 9 p.m., near the downtown square, when I noticed the boxes were gone. The set included two strings of warm white lights and a garland with red berries; they held sentimental value for our family’s Christmas cheer. If you’ve seen them, please drop them back through the website’s Lost and Found; I’m hoping they’re somewhere nearby and not far from Tyler.

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.
