Short answer
On Help Me you can ask neighbors nearby about a lost wallet, keys, or phone in Fargo, West Fargo, or Moorhead. Name the public place you were last, and a neighbor may be able to look. It is not an official lost-and-found, so also contact the venue, campus, or police non-emergency line.
The facts, in one place
- Name the public place you were last.
- Also contact the venue, campus, or police non-emergency line.
- Do not offer a reward or share more than you need to.
- Help Me is not an emergency service.
Where things get lost here
A mall food court at West Acres. A campus library table. A coffee shop on Broadway. A bus seat. A parking lot after a game. Most lost items end up one of two places: with a venue that has a lost-and-found, or with a person who picked them up and wants to return them.
A request on Help Me can reach that second group, without posting your phone number or your wallet's contents to a public thread.
Do the official things too
Contact the venue, the campus public safety office, or the police non-emergency line, and call your bank if a card is involved. Help Me is not an official lost-and-found, and a neighbor nearby cannot replace a call to the place that may actually be holding the item.
- Call the venue or campus lost-and-found.
- Call the police non-emergency line for anything valuable.
- Freeze a card if a wallet is gone.
- Describe the item, not what is inside it.
Share the least you need to
Describe the item and where you were. Do not post an ID number, a card number, or an address. Meet in a public place for any return. Your request shows as a rough area about 500 meters wide. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Questions people actually ask
Maybe. A neighbor nearby might have seen it or might be holding it. Also contact the venue, campus, or police non-emergency line.
No. Rewards attract the wrong attention. Ask in a sentence and meet in public for a return.
Use your phone's own find-my feature first, and contact your carrier. A neighbor can look around the last public place you were.
