Description
I found this blue hardcover atlas this afternoon around 4:15 PM in the parking lot behind the downtown public library on Main Street in Saginaw. It's a National Geographic World Atlas, big and heavy, about 11 by 9 inches, with a cracked spine but all the pages are intact. Inside the front cover someone wrote 'A. Morales' in pencil and there’s a yellow bookmark ribbon sticking out between pages 40 and 41. There's a coffee stain on the back cover, and the edges are a bit worn from travel. If you recognize these details, message me here and I’ll hold onto it for you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
