Blue paperback novel with notes, Little Rock lost
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my blue paperback novel wasn't in my tote. It's a medium-sized paperback, about 320 pages, with a black spine and a wavy, slightly creased cover from wear. On the first page there's a yellow sticky note with my initials 'PP' and a small fox sticker on the back cover. It also has a coffee ring along the top edge and a faint pencil note in the margin. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it's got sentimental value, and I'm really hoping it turns up near Clinton Presidential Center parking lot on President Clinton Ave in Little Rock. If you found it, email me 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.
