Never share or request personal home or work addresses to meet.

If possible, the Finder should ask to see the iFoundIt loss report sent to the Item Owner before handing back the item to them.

Tell someone about the meetup details, and if you feel you need to, have someone accompany you.

We advise meeting during office hours (9 AM - 5 PM).

If at any point during the meetup you feel unsafe, dial 111. In extreme circumstances, dial 999.

Include step-by-step instructions on how the meetup should occur. Specify exact location, dates, times, clearly in your messages.
