Description
I was wrapping up a Saturday evening near the Watertown Public Square when my backpack slipped off my shoulder at 7:42 pm. Inside were my action figures—a faded blue box with three vintage superheroes—my little ritual since college. I retraced every block from the fountain to the Jefferson County Library steps, calling out their names as if they'd run away themselves. I'm hoping someone who picked them up on their way home from a lawn-chair concert might recognize them and bring them back; they mean more to me than I can fully explain.

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.
