Mid-century oak coffee table with sunburst inlay
Description
I lost my mid-century oak coffee table yesterday around 3pm near The Bean & Barrel on Main Street in Akron's Highland Square. It's about 42 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 18 inches tall, with a warm honey-oak finish and two small drawers with brass pulls. The tabletop features a distinctive sunburst inlay, plus a tiny heart-shaped dent on the front left leg that makes it stand out. This piece has sentimental value—it's a family heirloom from my grandmother, and I really need to get it back. If you found it, please shoot me a message here; I can pick it up anywhere in Akron proper.

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.
