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.
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 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
Findback 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.
