Lost: my ties near Sikes Senter Mall, Wichita Falls.
Description
I’m the kind of person who rotates a small set of ties for interviews, and today I lost one. This morning around 8:15, I was at Sikes Senter Mall in Wichita Falls, fiddling with a tie while waiting for a friend near the theater entrance, and I realized one navy striped tie was gone. I retraced my steps from the food court through the main corridor, hoping it had slipped into the folds of my jacket, but it didn’t turn up. Those ties mean more to me than clothes — they’re tied to a job interview and a gift from my grandmother. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back.

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.
