Description
I lost my pair of 14k gold hoop earrings with tiny turquoise beads yesterday around 3pm near the Main Gate Square by the University of Arizona in Tucson. I was wandering from the campus bookstore toward University Blvd when I must have brushed against something and I think one slipped off the moment I clipped my backpack strap; one earring is bent at the post and the turquoise bead on one side is a touch brighter. They mean a lot to me; they were a gift from my grandmother and I really need them back. If anyone found them, please reply here so we can arrange a pickup.

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.
