Red paperback Pride and Prejudice with fox bookmark
Description
I lost my red paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice yesterday around 3pm near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington, specifically by Limestone Street and the Albert B. Chandler Hospital entrance. It's a well-loved edition, with a small coffee stain on the back cover and a fox-shaped bookmark tucked between pages 112 and 113. The cover is slightly creased from daily use, and there's a faint imprint of a library stamp on the inside page. This book was a gift from my grandmother, so it means more to me than any new read. If you happen to have it, I’d be grateful to hear from you at [email protected].

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.
