Description
I lost my navy blue evening gown yesterday around 5:15pm. It's a floor-length Eliza J dress, satin belt with a small silver buckle, and a beaded neckline that catches the light. I think I had it near the Fox Theatre on Main Street in Hays, Northwest KS, after the charity gala let out. It's a size US 6, and inside the lining there's a tiny embroidered label with the initials 'A.H.'—plus the belt buckle has a slightly scuffed silver finish. It means a lot to me—this dress was a gift from my aunt—and I'm really hoping someone picked it up and will return it.

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.
