Lost Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 in black folio
Description
I lost my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 yesterday around 6pm. It was in a black folio case with a bright red inner lining, and there's a blue sticker on the back that reads A-7. The tablet has a small dent along the bottom edge and a faint scratch near the camera. I was charging it in my car when I realized it was missing near the Walmart on East 42nd Street in Odessa, by the garden center entrance. It holds all my class notes and family photos, so it means a lot to me to get it back; I’m really hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you found it, drop me a note here and we can arrange a pickup time.

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.
