Description
I lost my blue vinyl binder full of vintage 1980s baseball cards yesterday around 3pm near the State Theatre on 10th Street in downtown Modesto. The binder is small, about the size of a paperback, with a white star sticker on the front and a few cards peeking out from the sleeve. Inside are three Topps cards from the mid-80s and some loose cards; the binder has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandfather. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back—this collection means a lot to me and I’d be forever grateful.

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.
