Description
Hi, I'm Olivia Martin. I lost my holiday decorations—twinkling garlands, a pine wreath, and a red velvet stocking—last Friday around 8:15 PM near Annapolis City Dock on Main Street. They are part of our family’s tradition, and I can still picture the fairy lights catching on the lamppost as we walked back to the car. I’ve retraced our steps along West Street toward Compromise Street, but the wind kept taking the garlands from my sleeve. If someone found them, I’d be forever grateful to have them back; they carry memories I’m not ready to part with.

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.
