Black Moleskine notebook with red elastic
Description
I lost my black Moleskine pocket notebook yesterday around 3pm near Drake Park along the Deschutes River Trail in Bend. It's a pocket-size hardcover (3.5 x 5.5 inches) with a bright red elastic band, and there’s a small mountain sticker on the back with the initials AP. Inside, there are a few doodles, a pressed lavender petal, and some notes from a recent family trip; the pages are a bit coffee-stained and dog-eared, giving it a well-loved feel. It means a lot to me and has sentimental value—I'd be really grateful to get it back. If you find it, you can reach me at [email protected].

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.
