Gray North Face jacket, found near Akron Civic Theatre
Description
I found a gray North Face jacket this morning around 9am outside the Akron Civic Theatre on East Market Street. It's a men's size M with a water-repellent shell and a bright orange zipper pull. The jacket shows light wear at the cuffs, and there's a small tear on the left sleeve that I’ve loosely stitched to prevent further fraying. Inside the lining is a distinctive lime green color, and there’s a tiny embroidered compass on the chest pocket. If this belongs to you or someone you know, I’d be glad to reunite it—happy to meet up near the theatre or pass it along to the front desk.

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.
