Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my brown leather Coach wallet near the Starbucks on Main Street in McAllen, right outside La Plaza Mall. It's a bifold, worn at the edges, with a gold zipper pull that sticks a bit. Inside there's my Texas driver's license, two credit cards, about $40 in cash, and a small, faded photo of my grandmother tucked in the card slots. The outside has a small coffee stain on the back and a tiny initials sticker 'PK' inside the lining. It’s really important to me—it's the last gift I had from her, and I really need it back.

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.
