Missing person: 16-year-old Maya Singh in Coventry
Description
I'm really worried—my sister Maya Singh, 16, has gone missing. She has shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, about 5'3", and was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the Coventry Cathedral steps, walking toward Broadgate along Greyfriars Road. She was wearing a light grey hoodie with a small red heart on the chest, black joggers, white sneakers, and she carries a bright blue backpack with a panda keychain. She also has a tiny crescent-moon tattoo on her left inner wrist, a unique identifying feature. If anyone sees her, please contact me immediately; I'm desperate to bring her home and she has sentimental value to our family.

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.
