Black iPhone 12 Pro with cracked screen
Description
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro with a cracked screen and a clear case yesterday around 3pm. I was wandering through the Boston Public Garden near the Arlington Street entrance, then headed toward Commonwealth Ave by the Public Library when it slipped from my pocket. It’s a digital media device with photos and work stuff on it, and I really need it back. It has a small dent on the bottom edge and a lime-green sticker with my initials 'PP' on the back; the screen is cracked in the upper-right corner, but it still powers on. This phone means a lot to me and it’s sentimental to me.

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.
