Found board games near Mass St and KU campus.
Description
I was walking back from the farmers market on Saturday evening when I spotted a tote tucked behind a bench outside the Free State Brewing Co. on Massachusetts Street, downtown Lawrence. At 6:45 PM, it looked like someone had just left a little game night in a hurry—the tote held Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and a handful of kids’ favorites, all in good condition. It felt like a small moment of shared joy, and I could imagine the owner stressing a bit about where their plans had disappeared to. I kept it safe and thought about how much a simple box of games can brighten a weekend. If this sounds like yours, I’m here, holding onto it until the site helps reunite you.

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.
