Description
I was walking from the Michigan League toward Main Street last Friday around 6:45 p.m., along the Diag toward Kerrytown. I briefly took off my two wrist watches to adjust my backpack, and they vanished when I looked up. They matter to me: a silver dress watch with a light blue dial that belonged to my grandmother, and a black sports watch with a red bezel. I am anxious about never seeing them again and I feel a little lost without them. If you saw them anywhere between the library steps, State Street, or Kerrytown, please keep an eye out.

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.
