Lost and Founds are usually found in large, public areas with a lot of people, such as airports or museums. But there are also websites that can work as Lost and Founds online. Craigslist.com is an American-based website with pages for different cities and countries in the U.S. and all over the world. Craigslist has an online Lost and Found section for each city or area.

In the Lost and Found section, someone may submit an "advertisement" or announcement that says they have lost an item or a pet. In this "ad," they will give information describing what they have lost and provide "contact information," or a way that someone can reach them, such as a phone number or an email address. They may also offer a "reward" (a valuable thing or some money) for the return of this item or pet, to encourage people to look for it or return it. Someone who has found an item may also write an advertisement describing what he or she has found and leave contact information in case the owner finds the ad. It is a very good way to reach many people in a short amount of time.

This is only one feature of the Craigslist website, which serves as online "classified" or small advertisement. There are also sections where people can sell or give away items, look for housing, or different types of jobs. There is even a section to find someone who can do a job or provide a service for you. Similar to many American newspapers with classified sections, there is also a section for the "personals" or personal ads, where people can post announcements looking for a date or a romantic partner.
