Description
I lost my black iPhone 12 Pro yesterday around 5pm near the Waterloo Public Library on Jefferson Street. It's in a mint-green Spigen case and has a tiny scratch along the bottom edge. The wallpaper shows my beagle 'Max' and the screen is otherwise fine, just a couple of light scratches near the corner. This item has sentimental value to me and I really need it back—it's my main way I stay connected to work and family. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange return.

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.
