Lost Items Community
Lost Something Nearby? Someone May Have Found It.
Post what you lost or found, pin the spot on the map, and check what's been handed in around you. When something matches, chat with the other person, make sure it's really yours, and meet somewhere public to get it back.

Can you tell me what's engraved on the back?
"To J, 2019" — and there's a scratch on the clasp.
That matches. I'm at the café until 6 today.

What You Can Do
Lost Items Community is a lost & found board for the people around you. Posting, searching, chatting and meeting up all happen in one app.
Post What You Lost or Found
Pick “I lost this” or “I found this”, add a title and a category, then pin where it happened on the map. A photo and a few details help the right person recognise it.
Search the Registry
Look through Lost and Found posts by item, place or date, filter by category, or open Nearby to see what's been posted around you.
Chat Before You Meet
Every post has a private chat. Ask about something only the owner would know, and only arrange a meetup once you're both sure.
How It Works
Three Steps, Start to Finish
Keys, a wallet, a phone or the dog's favourite toy, it works the same way.
1POST
Post It
Say what it is, pick a category, pin the spot and add a photo. It goes into the registry straight away.

Search the registry or check Nearby. You'll get a notification when someone messages you or claims your post.
3REUNITE
Verify, Then Meet Safely
Use the chat to check it's really theirs, then meet somewhere busy and public to hand it over.
Why People Use It
It's built for neighbours helping neighbours. It's free, moderators check reported posts, and the safety rules are part of every handover.
Free to use - No fees and no premium plan. You never pay to get your things back.Notifications that matter - You hear about new messages, claims on your post and moderator decisions.Moderated community - Anyone can flag a post for a moderator to review, and accounts that break the rules can be suspended.
Community Guidelines
Four Rules That Keep Everyone Safe
The app asks you to accept these before you arrange a handover. Moderators review reported posts and can suspend accounts that break them.
fact_check
Verify before you hand over
Ask the claimant to describe unique features only the owner would know. Confirm in chat first, then arrange the handover.
groups
Meet in a busy public place
Meet during daylight in a place with people around, and bring someone with you if you can. Never invite a stranger to your home.
money_off
Never send money upfront
Lost Items Community is free and no one should ask you to pay for a returned item. Requests for payment or gift cards are a scam signal.
flag
Report anything suspicious
Flag unverified claims, spam or suspicious contact details. A moderator reviews every flagged post and can remove it or suspend the member.

Talk It Through
in the Forum
infoThe forum is where people share sightings, ask questions and post when something made it home. Mark replies as helpful so the best answers rise to the top.
Seen Something?
Spotted a dog on its own, or a bag left on the bus? Post where and when you saw it, so the owner knows where to look.
visibilitySightingSpotted around the area
Not Sure What to Do?
Ask the people nearby. Where to hand in a passport, who to call about a lost bike, whether the station has a lost property desk.
helpQuestionLocal know-how
Got It Back?
Post a Reunited thread and say thanks to the person who helped. It shows everyone else the board works.
