Description
I found this olive-green field notebook this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's about 4x6 inches, with a red elastic strap and a small maple-leaf sticker on the front cover. Inside, someone wrote initials 'A.L.' and a few doodles; the pages are clean overall, with a couple of coffee stains near the back. It looks like it's been well used but not trashed. If this notebook belongs to you, drop a note here and we can figure out a meetup near the library so I can return it.

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.
