Lost & found, on the map

Lost things find their way home.

Pin what you lost or found where it happened. When the two meet, Lostalgia asks the owner “Is this yours?” — without sharing a name or a phone number.

How it works

Two sides of the same story.

Every post is a pin on the map where it happened. Posts stay up for 7 days.

LOST

  1. Pin where you lost itAdd a photo if you have one, a category and a few details.
  2. Look around the mapSwitch to Found and see what people picked up near you.
  3. Get “Is this yours?”A finder who spots your post can ask you, with a photo only you see.
  4. Get it back and say thanksSend a thank-you, and a tip if you like.

Details behind sign-in

Without signing in, people see only the area. The exact spot, the description and “Is this yours?” need an account.

Thanks & tips

Kindness, noticed.

Lostalgia takes nothing from tips. The card fee comes out of the tip.
