Lost desk organizers near San Marcos Plaza, San Marcos
Description
I’m Carlos Mendoza. Friday around 5:30 p.m., I left a small set of desk organizers on a cafe table by the San Marcos Plaza near the Hays County Courthouse. They’re blue plastic with a sliding drawer and a couple of labels on top—two-tier organizers I use for study notes and schedules. Finals are looming, and losing them throws off my whole routine. I walked toward the San Marcos River and back along Guadalupe Street, checked the coffee shop, and asked staff, but they weren’t there. I’m hopeful someone picked them up and will drop them off at the plaza’s lost-and-found so they can get back to me.

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.
