Description
I lost my brother, Mateo Rivera, yesterday around 7:15 pm. He's about 28 years old, 5'11", lean build, with short dark hair and light stubble. He was last seen wearing a black leather jacket over a red hoodie, blue jeans, and gray sneakers. He has a compass tattoo on his left wrist and a small scar above his right eyebrow. We were near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street as dusk fell, and he wandered toward Bushnell Park; I haven't heard from him since. I'm really worried—he has a medical condition and needs his meds; if you see him, contact me immediately.

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.
