Blue waterproof phone pouch with yellow lanyard
Description
I was wandering along the Florida Keys waterfront in Key West yesterday around 3pm, near Mallory Square and the ferry dock, when my blue waterproof phone pouch slipped from my pocket. It’s a 6x4 inch AquaGuard case with a bright yellow lanyard that makes it easy to spot in the sun, and there’s a small white sticker on the back reading 'Key West 305.' The pouch is a bit scratched along the bottom edge from deck steps, but the zipper still works. Inside is my unlocked iPhone and a couple of faded travel receipts; it’s sentimental—my sister gave me this on our last trip—and I’d really appreciate getting 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.
