Lost trading cards near Albany Riverfront Park
Description
LOST my trading cards around 7:15 p.m. last Friday near Albany Riverfront Park along the Willamette. I had them spread out on a small blanket by the gazebo after a quick picnic with my kids, and when we stood up, they were gone. These cards aren’t just cardboard to me; they tie to a trip we took to the Albany Carousel and to a few rookie pulls I chased at the farmers market last summer. I am hoping someone picked them up by mistake and can return them through the site. If you found them, please drop a note there so we can arrange a safe reunion. Thank you for helping me keep a little piece of our family day intact.

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.
