Description
I was sorting through an old stamp album while waiting for friends at Lancaster Central Market around 11:15 a.m. Saturday when a gust from the street knocked the album from my bag. The stamps are a collection of vintage U.S. issues from the 1950s and 60s, many with pale blue backs and red cancels. The binder is a bit worn, with a small sticker on the inside cover. These stamps are priceless to me because my grandmother started the collection. If you found them, please help me bring them back to their rightful home.

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.
