Description
I’m Priya Patel, mom of 16-year-old Aria Patel, last saw her yesterday around 6pm near the Duke Kahanamoku statue in Waikiki, Honolulu. She was wearing a pink aloha-print sundress, white sneakers, and a light denim jacket tied around her waist; she has shoulder-length black hair and a crescent moon tattoo on her left ankle. She was carrying a bright yellow backpack with a unicorn keychain, and she often wears a silver heart locket that I gave her. She’s a bit anxious in crowds and has asthma, so please reach out if you see her; I really need to confirm she’s safe.

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.
