Navy scarf with silver brooch, lost in Aberdeen
Description
I was wandering down Union Street toward the Bon Accord Centre yesterday around 3pm when my navy Marks & Spencer wool scarf with a small silver leaf-shaped brooch disappeared. It's about 180 cm long and 30 cm wide, soft wool with a slight fray along the edge and a faint coffee stain near the corner. I really need it back—it's sentimental because it was a gift from my mum and it's been with me through many Aberdeen winters. If you found it near the Costa Coffee on Belmont Street or around the bus stop by Union Square, please drop me a message; I'd be forever grateful. The brooch stands out: a tiny leaf-shaped silver pin near the end, easy to spot if you see it on the ground.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
