Black address book with red ribbon bookmark
Description
I lost my small black leatherette address book yesterday around 3pm near the Genetti Hotel on Pine Street in Williamsport. It’s about 4x6 inches, with a red ribbon bookmark sticking out and a tiny coffee stain on the back cover; inside there are blue-ink entries and a cat sticker on the inside cover. The pages are a bit worn and the corners frayed, but the book holds numbers from family and old friends that I really need to reach. It has sentimental value because it belonged to my grandfather, who kept our family contacts there. If you found it, I’d be grateful to get it back—email me at [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.
