Description
I found a blue paperback travel guide this morning around 9am behind the Cocoa Beach Pier, tucked between a trash can and a bench near the surf shop. It's a worn travel guide, about the size of a large paperback, with a coffee ring on the bottom edge and a small seashell bookmark wedged between pages 62 and 63. There's a faint pencil note on page 112 that reads 'For Sam.' The cover photo shows a sunset over the water, and the pages still smell faintly of sea air—totally Space Coast vibes. If this is your copy, shoot me an email and we can arrange pickup.

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.
