Description
I lost my black 11-inch iPad Pro yesterday around 3pm near the Joplin Public Library on West 2nd Street. It's in a gray Speck case, and the back features a pink cartoon cat sticker with the initials 'A.J.' engraved near the bottom edge. The screen has a small scratch along the top-right corner, but otherwise it's in good condition and holds priceless photos of my grandmother and some Notes from a project I'm working on. I really need it back; those files are sentimental and I can't replace them. If someone found it, give me a shout and we can arrange a pickup.

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.
