Description
I lost my blue hardcover copy of Dune by Frank Herbert yesterday around 3pm. It was in the Aurora area of Eastern Colorado, near the Aurora Mall on Sable Boulevard, by the coffee shop and the Barnes & Noble entrance. The book has a bright yellow ribbon bookmark, a slightly creased spine, and a small coffee stain on the back cover. It really matters to me—it's a gift from my grandmother and I’m hoping to get it back soon. If someone found it, please drop it off at the mall’s customer service desk or send me a message here so we can figure out a pickup time.

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.
