Kindle Paperwhite found with lime sticker
Description
Found a Kindle Paperwhite this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind the Laredo Public Library on San Bernardo Ave. It's a silver Kindle Paperwhite with a black fabric sleeve. The sleeve has a lime-green sticker that reads 'Read More' and there's a small dent on the bottom edge of the device. It looks recently used, with a handful of open e-books on the home screen. I figured someone must be missing it—it's clearly important to the owner. If it's yours, send me a message here with any identifying detail (the sticker text or the dent) and we can arrange a quick return.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
