Printed Media: Autographed poetry book with fox bookmark
Description
I’m hoping someone picked it up yesterday around 3pm near the Texoma Public Library on Main Street, outside the coffee shop. It’s a small hardcover poetry book, blue cover with a gold-foil title, and inside there’s an orange fox-shaped bookmark sticking out from a page. It’s a first edition, signed by the local poet, with a short inscription on the inside cover. It has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother who passed away last year. I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’m hoping whoever found it can drop it at the Texoma Public Library front desk or contact me. My name is Marisol Ortega, [email protected].

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.
