Description
I lost my red Penguin Classics poetry collection yesterday around 3pm along the Pueblo Riverwalk near the Main Street Bridge. It's a 5x7 inch paperback with a creased spine, yellowed pages, and a blue ribbon bookmark peeking out a little past page 120. The back cover has a coffee stain and there's a tiny sticker of a cat on the corner. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate getting it back if you happen to spot it around the riverfront benches or near the 4th Street landing. Let me know if you see it—really hoping it turns up soon.

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.
