Lost DVDs after movie night in Watertown, NY.
Description
I lost a small stack of DVDs after a quiet evening in Watertown, New York. Around 6:40 PM on Tuesday, I checked the tote by the door and realized they were gone after I stopped by the Watertown Public Library on Court Street earlier. The area outside the building was crowded with people leaving for the night. The DVDs are a mix of indie titles and family favorites, housed in a plain black case with a blue slipcover visible on one side. Losing them feels silly and a little sad, because those movies are part of my weekend routine. If anyone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back.

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.
