Description
I think I set it down while wandering the Daytona Beach Boardwalk yesterday around 3pm. It's a blue Penguin Classics paperback, about 320 pages, with a dog-eared corner and a small coffee stain along the back cover. There's a yellow ribbon bookmark peeking from page 142, and the spine shows wear from being tucked in my backpack. This book has sentimental value — it's one I reread when I'm homesick, and it's kind of my anchor while living here. If you found it near the Bandshell by the Main Street Pier or at the Lifeguard Stand, drop me a note at [email protected].

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.
