Description
I'm trying to find my sister, Mia Patel, who's 15. She's about 5 ft 6 in, with shoulder-length brown hair and hazel eyes, and she was wearing a gray hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers. Yesterday around 7pm she wandered off near the Meridian Marketplace by Eagle Road and Franklin; she has a small star-shaped tattoo on her left wrist and wears a silver dog tag necklace. She has some health issues and carries an inhaler in her backpack, and I'm really worried and just want her back safe. If you've seen her since yesterday, please reach out; any information helps.

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.
