Description
At 4:15 PM on Monday, I realized my navy and charcoal ties were gone after I stepped away from a seat near the Visalia Mall's coffee kiosk. I had been showing a friend outfit ideas in the department store and must have left them on the chair when I moved toward the fountain by the food court. The ties are a navy silk with a subtle diagonal stripe, and a charcoal wool blend one with a tiny dot pattern. I'm heading to a job interview later this week, and I feel anxious about not having them. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful to have them turned in; they mean a lot 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.
