Blue Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet in black case
Description
I lost my blue Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet yesterday around 3pm near Market Square in downtown Knoxville. It's in a black silicone case with a tiny dent on the bottom edge and a bright yellow sticker with my initials 'AR' on the back. I last had it on the outdoor table at the Urban Outfitters cafe adjacent to Market Street Plaza, then walked toward the water feature at Neyland Terrace. The tablet has sentimental value because I use it to store family photos and school notes, and I really need it back to finish a project before finals. If someone found it, please text me with the wallpaper on the home screen or the last app you saw open; I’d be grateful to get it back.

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.
