Description
Last Tuesday around 6:45 PM, I was at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso, helping a neighbor decorate a storefront for the holidays. My bag with holiday decorations slipped from the cart and disappeared between benches near the fountain. The collection includes a garland, two strings of multicolored lights, and a red ornament shaped like a star—keepsakes my grandmother handed down. I have retraced the plaza and checked with nearby shops, but the crowds keep swallowing clues. I am hoping someone found them and will drop them into the Lost & Found on this site.

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.
