Found Samsung Galaxy S21 in lime case with cat sticker
Description
I found a Samsung Galaxy S21 this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the CVS on Opelika Road in Auburn, near Toomer's Corner. It's in a bright lime-green silicone case with a tiny black cat sticker on the back and a small dent on the bottom-right corner. The screen is on and shows a few photos of a dog in the wallpaper; there are no obvious owner contact details on the lock screen. The phone looks fairly new and seems well cared for, so I’ll keep it safe near the bike racks in that lot until someone claims it. If this sounds like yours, please respond through the app and describe the cat sticker or the wallpaper to verify ownership.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
