Description
I lost my blue iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm near the Iowa City Public Library on College Street, right by the Pedestrian Mall entrance. It’s in a black OtterBox Defender case with a small dent on the lower-right corner and a tiny yellow llama sticker on the back. The screen has a crack from a drop last week, but the touch still works and I can unlock it with Face ID. It holds family photos and a note from my sister, so it’s really sentimental and I’m hoping to get it back as soon as possible. If you found it, you can email me at [email protected]—thank you so much.

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.
