Description
I lost my gray Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8-inch yesterday around 3pm. I was at the MSSU campus area near the bookstore on East Newman Road, by the benches outside the student union. The tablet has a black silicone case with a small yellow sticker on the back and a cracked screen from a fall last week. It’s about 8 inches diagonally, light gray, and I use it daily for class and client calls—it has a lot of work stuff on it, so I’m worried. If anyone found it, please reach out; I really need it back, and I can meet you near MSSU to pick it up.

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.
