Description
I found this hand-painted ceramic hummingbird wall plaque this morning around 10:15am in the little plaza behind the Courthouse on Cypress Street in Abilene. It's about 8 inches tall, with a glossy teal glaze and gold accents, mounted on a soft white backing. The back is stamped with the brand Lumen Clay Studio, and there’s a tiny blue hummingbird etched near the bottom edge. The glaze has a minor smudge on the upper wing and a tiny chip on the frame, but overall it's in good condition. If someone recognizes it, I’m happy to return it to its owner.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
