Description
I found a device on Monday at 4:20 pm behind the Monroe County Library, tucked under a bench along the River Raisin trail. It’s a silver smartphone with a cracked screen in a blue case; there wasn’t any obvious ID taped to the back, so I kept it safe in a small zip bag while I waited to post here. I know how it feels to lose something important, so I’m hoping the rightful owner will see this and claim it. I’m in downtown Monroe and can verify basic details through the site if needed.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
