LOST: Belts, Tulsa
Description
Last Saturday around 7:45 p.m., I stepped out of the grocery store in Tulsa's Pearl District and realized my belts were missing from my bag. The two belts—the black leather one with a small scratch near the buckle and a brown braided strap—are staples in my outfits, so losing them threw off every plan for the week. I wandered along Guthrie Green and the surrounding streets, calling their names and listening for the clink of a buckle, but the wind carried only car doors and distant bass from a cafe. It sounds silly, but those belts carry a piece of my routine; without them I feel off-kilter and anxious about work tomorrow.

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.
