Young woman missing: red hoodie, crescent tattoo
Description
I lost my sister, Amina Yusuf, yesterday around 3pm in Palm Springs. She was wearing a bright red hoodie, black leggings, and white sneakers, and she has round glasses plus a small crescent-moon tattoo on her inner left forearm. I last saw her near the Ace Hotel & Swim Club on Palm Canyon Drive, and she headed toward Tahquitz Canyon Way. It's very out of character for her to wander off, and I'm worried—she doesn't have her phone on her. She's about 5'4", 115 pounds, with a soft-spoken, friendly demeanor. If anyone finds her or sees her, message me here and I will respond right away.

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.
