Description
Hey there, I am Diego Ramirez. I lost two dog leashes yesterday around 9:30 PM while walking near the Congress Avenue Bridge over Lady Bird Lake in Austin. I had my dog on a lightweight black leash and a spare nylon backup; I must have dropped them when we paused by the water. They are not fancy, but they are essential for night walks and a routine that keeps my pup calm. If you happened to find them, I would be grateful to have them returned to the area where we were strolling.

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.
