Black Kindle Paperwhite with mint-green case
Description
I lost my black Kindle Paperwhite with a mint-green protective case yesterday around 3pm on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk near the Funtown Pier. It's a slim 6-inch device with a tiny dent on the bottom edge and a faint coffee stain near the cover; the case has a small bamboo sticker on the back and my initials 'AH' written inside the flap. This Kindle was a birthday gift last year, and it's really important to me to have it back for long evening reads along the Jersey Shore. If anyone found it, please contact me via email or text—I'll be forever grateful and can provide proof it's mine.

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.
