Description
I lost my gold-tone hoop earrings with pearl drops yesterday around 3:15pm near the fountain outside the Missouri Theatre on 4th Street in St Joseph. They’re about 1.2 cm hoops with tiny freshwater pearls dangling from each hoop, and one earring has a small heart charm. The back of the other earring has a tiny 'A.J.' engraving that I can recognize. They’re from the Aurelia line and show a little tarnish on the clasp from daily wear. They’re sentimental to me because they were a gift from my grandmother, so I’d really appreciate getting them back if anyone found them.

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.
