About lost and found postings in general

Please note that these are not all of the posts to the New York "Lost and found" page on Craigslist -- we've only included the posts that have a recognizable address, landmark or other location in the body of the post or the "Location" field.

If you'd like to make sure your Craigslist "Lost and found" post appears on EveryBlock, be sure to be as specific as possible in noting a location. "Times Square" is OK, but "45th St. and 8th Ave." is better. As always, keep in mind any privacy concerns you have.

Also, provide as many locations as are relevant. For example, if you barhopped at three bars last night and lost your cellphone at one of them, list all the bars' addresses.
