Description
I was walking back from the Purdue Memorial Union yesterday around 3pm and must have dropped my silver bracelet along West State Street by the fountain at the south entrance. It's a slender 7-inch sterling-silver chain with a small heart charm and a tiny star charm; the heart has 'P.P.' engraved and the clasp bears a tiny 925 stamp that catches the light. It’s sentimental because it was a gift from my sister, so I’m really hoping someone picked it up and would be willing to return it. If you found it, please text me or email me—I'd be forever grateful.

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.
