Brown Fossil wallet with grandma's photo
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my brown Fossil bi-fold wallet near Bell's Brewery on East Kalamazoo Ave, right by the crosswalk toward Bronson Park. It's compact, a bit creased leather with a few scratches and a tiny brass compass charm hanging from the coin pocket. Inside are my driver's license, a couple of cards, and a small photo of my grandmother tucked in the ID slot; I also have a blue ink sketch I drew on a receipt in the cash pocket. That photo means the world to me—it was a gift from her and the wallet carries a lot of sentimental value. If you found it, please reach out; I can describe every card and the charm to prove 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.
