Lost passports, SD cards, and valuables
Description
It’s been a while, but on October 16th, my things were thrown out my apartment on 1209 W 8th St, Los Angeles CA 90017. My things included many important documents including passports and my residence card and a box of SD cards with photos dating back to the early 2000s. There was also a lot of designer clothing like coats, heels, jewelry, I also collected lots of perfumes and designer sunglasses. My daughters things were also thrown out which included K-pop albums, photocards, anime funko pops, figurines, and also her laptop and grey ipad, which were inside a turquoise zip up fabric case. I also had a silver WhirlPool Mini fridge, a 50 inch Samsung TV, and some furniture. A lot of my things were inside of tote containers.

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.
