Description
I’m Grace Mitchell. This afternoon, around 1:20 PM, I realized my Radios were gone along the path by the Duquesne Incline, near Mount Washington. I’d stopped to take a skyline photo when it slipped from my coat pocket. It’s a small silver radio with a dent in the corner and a worn brown leather strap. I’ve walked the overlook stairs down to the riverfront and retraced the route I took along the brick promenade, hoping someone nearby picked it up. It’s important to me—my dad gave it to me years ago, and I use it to listen to the morning news on my commute.

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.
