Safety rules
FoundWall is designed to help people exchange recovery information without turning a possible lead into a public accusation or a physical confrontation.
A listing, sighting, or message is information. Deciding that someone committed a crime is a matter for police. If you believe you located stolen property, keep what you have and hand it to the authorities instead of arranging a meeting yourself.
Do not publish your home address, full serial number, microchip number, police occurrence number, receipt, insurance document, or information about another person's private address or contact details.
If you found something, keep at least one distinctive detail out of the public post. Ask a claimant to describe that characteristic privately before arranging a return.
Be sceptical of anyone who claims to have your property or pet but asks for an advance fee, gift card, crypto payment, verification code, or unusual shipping payment before providing credible evidence.
When an in-person handoff is appropriate, prefer a public, well-lit location and consider bringing another person. Do not let recovery pressure override basic physical-safety judgement.
Harassment, threats, impersonation, doxxing, scams, false accusations, and attempts to bypass another user's block are not acceptable. Use the report and block controls on the notice or the message thread.
