Lost travel adapters in Spokane
Description
Last Thursday around 6:45 p.m., I was downtown Spokane after a long shift, checking a map by Riverfront Park near Monroe Street Bridge. My travel adapters were tucked in a small gray zip pouch inside my backpack, along with a couple of charging cables. I set the pouch down on a bench while I looked something up, and when I turned back, the pouch was gone. The adapters are essential for my work trips—one powers my laptop, the other charges my phone in odd outlets. They aren’t valuable, just mine, and I’d be grateful to have them back. I was in Spokane, and I’m told Coeur d’Alene is nearby too.

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.
