Description
I lost my brass house keys with a bright red plastic key fob yesterday around 3pm near the Fox River Mall parking lot off College Avenue in Appleton. The set is on a short dented brass ring and includes a small mailbox key plus a tiny sun charm on the ring. The red fob has a faded label that says 'Home' written in black marker. They're not fancy, but they mean a lot to me because one key opens our old family mailbox and the set was given by my grandmother. If someone found them, I’d really appreciate getting 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.
