Description
I was walking back from the lakefront after sunset, and at 7:15 PM this past Saturday I realized my small leather Photographs album wasn't in my tote. The album holds old family pictures from a Milwaukee trip, with glossy prints of the lake, the Third Ward, and the Milwaukee Art Museum in the background. The cover is cracked, and there’s a red ribbon bookmark that sticks out when I flip it open. I’m hopeful someone nearby picked it up and kept it safe near the Milwaukee Art Museum, because those images mean more to me than anything.

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.
