Safety
Attention Volunteer Searchers & people with Lost Items:
The Lost My Stuff Group provides an email forwarding service only.
The Lost My Stuff Group does not review, verify or endorse the services of any of the volunteers who have joined the Group, nor any of the reports of lost items received from people indicating they've lost something.
Everyone -- All persons reporting lost items & all volunteer searchers -- need to approach all offers of volunteered assistance and reports of missing items with their safety and well being in mind.
As recommended on other websites -- When meeting anyone from the internet for the first time:
- Insist on a public meeting place like a restaurant or cafe
- Do not meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home
- Take a friend or family member along with you
- Take your cell phone along
- Trust your instincts
Everyone is responsible for their own safety!!!
And on another note...
Each vounteer searcher needs to always make sure to research and adhere to any & all rules, regulations, laws, ordinances, and etc. that could possibly exist in the city, county, state or country where a search needs to be conducted. Not doing so could easily put a searcher in the sad position of being arrested or fined, and possibly having his/her detector, equipment, and even his automobile confiscated!
