Description
I found a paperback mystery novel this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Show Low Library on Main Street. It's a light-blue cover, about 320 pages, with a creased spine and a faint coffee stain along the bottom edge. Inside, there's a red library due-date slip from a previous borrower and a handmade fox bookmark tucked between pages. It looks well-loved, and I am sure it means a lot to someone. If you are missing it, I am happy to return it - just tell me the title and the first line on page 56.

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.
