Lost lamps from my campus apartment.
Description
I lost a pair of lamps from my campus apartment in College Station at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday. I had just gotten home to my unit on University Drive after grabbing tacos near Northgate, and I set the lamps on the living room table. One lamp is brass with a cream shade; the other is a small ceramic base with a blue glaze. They brighten my evenings when I study for exams and keep me company during storms. Now the living room feels dim and lonely, and I miss their soft glow. If you remember seeing them around the MSC area, near the Memorial Student Center, please help me bring them home.

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.
