Description
I was at the Visalia street fair last Saturday around 3:40 PM when I realized my brooches were gone. They're a pair of silver-toned pins with tiny blue stones, one a bit larger than the other, and they were pinned to the left lapel of my jacket. I must have dropped them somewhere between the Visalia Mall entrance and the Tulare County Library steps, near the big clock on the corner. They belonged to my grandmother and carry so many memories, and I’m desperate to have them back. I hope someone who found them will understand how much they would mean to me.

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.
