Description
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 3pm outside the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on Cushman Street in Fairbanks. It’s in a blue OtterBox case with a small maple-leaf sticker on the back, and there’s a noticeable crack along the top edge. The phone holds a lot of sentimental stuff—family photos, and a contact list for my sister—so I’m really hoping to get it back. I had last used it while grabbing a coffee at the shop next to the bookstore on Cushman before heading toward the library. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d be forever grateful to get it back.

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.
