Description
Found a tablet this afternoon around 3:15pm, sitting on the pavement outside the Auke Bay Ferry Terminal in Juneau, Alaska. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 in a black OtterBox case with a blue outer shell. On the back there's a red sticker with the initials 'JL' and a small crack along the top-right corner. It still powers on and shows recent travel apps, so it seems it wasn’t forgotten long ago. If it's yours, you know how to reach me and we can figure out pickup near the terminal.

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.
