Description
On December 9, around 7:45 PM, I realized my holiday decorations were missing after I finished decorating the living room at my sister's house in Allentown, in the Lehigh Valley. The box held a ceramic snowman, a string of multicolored lights, and a handmade garland. I retraced my steps through the living room, foyer, and out to the porch near Market Street in downtown Allentown, but I can't remember where I last saw them. Those decorations carry memories of holidays with my grandma, and the empty bin makes this season feel heavier than usual.

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.
