Description
I lost my delicate sterling silver bracelet yesterday around 3:15pm near the Iowa City Public Library on College Street, by the Ped Mall benches. It’s a thin 6-inch chain with a small heart charm; the back of the charm is engraved with an initial 'A' and there’s a tiny scratch along the clasp. The bracelet shows a little tarnish from wear but remains intact. It’s a gift from my grandmother and is incredibly sentimental to me, so I’d be really grateful to have it back. If you found it, please email [email protected] so we can arrange a safe return.

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.
