Description
I found it this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Grand Island Public Library on 2nd Street, near the sculpture garden. It's a paperback travel guide with a bright orange cover, about 320 pages, and the spine is a bit creased. There’s a blue ribbon bookmark sticking out and a small Grand Island Public Library sticker on the inside cover. There are yellow highlighter markings in the margins about National Parks, which makes me think it belongs to someone who loves road trips. If this belongs to you, catch me in the app and I’ll meet you to hand it back.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
