Description
I lost my iPhone 11 in a purple OtterBox yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks at the Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville, PA. It's in decent condition aside from a small crack along the upper-right edge and a tiny dent on the bottom corner, and there's a bright neon green sticker on the back of the case that's easy to spot. The phone has a lot of sentimental photos of my grandmother, plus some irreplaceable notes from family group chats, so I really need it back. If someone turned it in or knows where it is, I'd be grateful to get it back through the app.

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.
