Description
Today at 11:30 a.m., I found a small plastic pouch with several decorative pins outside the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis. The pins were spilling loose on the sidewalk, tangled with a blue lanyard and a piece of sea glass. I picked them up and checked for any contact details, but there were none—just the kind of small clue that makes you pause and hope someone is missing their favorite pins. Pins can mean a lot to the person who wears them, and I want them to find home again. If this is yours, respond through the site and we can arrange pickup near the Cape Cod Mall entrance.

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.
