Description
I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm outside a cafe near Rosa Parks Circle on Monroe Center, downtown Grand Rapids. It's a genuine brown full-grain leather bifold, about the size of my phone folded, with a teal microfiber lining peeking from the card slots. The edges show some wear and there is a tiny coffee stain on the back. Inside I keep my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and a small photo; there is also a faint 'JL' monogram stamped into one inner pocket. It was a gift from my mom, so I'm really hoping it turns up.

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.
