Where is Mine

The manual

How it works,
end to end.

A simple, safe, community-run process for getting your things back — designed around trust, not transactions.

STEP 01 / 05

Post the item

Sign up free, then write a listing with a photo, location, and a few sentences. The more detail, the better.

STEP 02 / 05

The community sees it

Your post lands on the map and in the live feed. Anyone walking past the area sees it, plus anyone watching that category.

STEP 03 / 05

Tips and private replies

People leave public tips on the listing or message you privately. Your contact info stays sealed until you choose to share.

STEP 04 / 05

Verify ownership

Before exchanging anything, ask for identifying marks only the owner would know. Meet somewhere public.

STEP 05 / 05

Return it, mark it done

Update the listing as Returned. Leave a thank-you, hand off any reward you offered. That's the whole thing.

House rules

A few principles we live by

№ 01

No money on the platform

Where is Mine isn't a marketplace. Rewards, when offered, go person to person.

№ 02

Privacy as the default

Email and phone stay sealed. Messages route through the platform until you decide otherwise.

№ 03

Owners verify themselves

We provide the tools. You confirm ownership through details only you would know.

№ 04

Be a decent neighbor

People lose things they care about. Every conversation here should reflect that.
