Description
On Monday at 6:15 p.m., I was strolling along East 3rd Ave near the Moses Lake Safeway when I spotted a blue tote tucked behind a planter by the curb. Inside were strings of lights, garland, and a handful of ornaments—clearly someone’s holiday decorations left behind in the bustle of the season. I picked it up and brought it to the library's front desk so the owner could claim it. The sight of those bright pieces reminded me how this town comes alive with lights in winter, and I’m glad these decorations were found and kept safe until they’re reunited with their owner.

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.
