Description
I found a black iPhone 12 Pro this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk outside Grand Central Terminal, near the 42nd Street entrance. It's in a bright blue OtterBox case with a white paw-print sticker on the back and a small crack across the top-left corner of the screen. The phone is a little scratched along the right edge, but it powered on and showed a few photos when I opened it. If this belongs to you, DM me with a detail like the wallpaper or the contact name in the last message, and we can arrange to get it back.

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.
