Black Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1in with purple case
Description
I found a black Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 in a purple protective case this afternoon around 2:20pm in the downtown North Platte plaza behind the public library on 5th Street. The tablet's screen is still responsive but there's a small crack along the bottom edge, and it boots to a mountain sunset wallpaper. On the back is a gray protective sleeve with a sticker reading 'A. Rivera 12'—could help verify ownership. It seems to be a pretty important digital media device to someone, so I’d love to get it back to its owner. If this sounds like yours, send me a message in the app so we can arrange a safe handoff.

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.
