About lost and found postings
Summary
Have you lost or found something in your neighborhood? This section of EveryBlock takes lost and found postings from Craigslist Chicago and maps them — so you can see what's been lost or found near you.
As you might expect, people post about a wide variety of things, from pets and wallets to people! As long as a specific address or intersection appears in the Craigslist posting, it will show up here, on EveryBlock.

The data comes from the "Lost and found" section of Craigslist Chicago. We at EveryBlock retrieve new postings and publish them throughout the day.
How do I make sure my Craigslist post appears on EveryBlock?
As noted above, we at EveryBlock only publish Craigslist items with recognizable addresses or intersections in the post or in the "Location" field. And try to be as specific as possible.
Also, provide as many addresses as are relevant. For example, if you barhopped at three bars last night and lost your cell phone at one of them, list all the bars' addresses. As always, keep in mind any privacy concerns you might have.
