Description
I lost my Fossil chronograph watch yesterday around 3pm, somewhere near Riverfront Park in downtown Peoria. It's a black leather strap, 42mm stainless steel case with blue stitching along the edges, and there's a small scratch near the 2 o'clock crown. The back is engraved with the initials 'J.S.' and the dial has a subtle sunburst silver finish. It was a gift from my dad and I really miss it—it's sentimental, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back. If anyone found it, please drop a message here.

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.
