Remote controls lost in Wichita Falls.
Description
I was winding down at 8:15 PM on Friday when I realized my remote controls were missing from my living room near the Sikes Senter. I checked the couch cushions, the coffee table, and the TV stand, then peered behind the sofa and in the hall closet—still nothing. The two remotes—one large gray universal and a smaller black one with a cracked power button—are essential to my evenings; I use them to switch between shows, streaming apps, and the sound system. I’m feeling an anxious mix of frustration and hope someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw them around the Sikes Senter area or in the building lobby, I’d be grateful.

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.
