Gray neck pillow with red embroidered tag
Description
Found this gray travel neck pillow this afternoon around 3pm behind the Altoona Public Library on 9th Avenue in the Altoona-Johnstown area. It's a memory-foam neck pillow in dark gray fabric, about 11 inches long, with a black adjustable strap and a small red embroidered tag on the side reading 'RV.' There’s a faint coffee stain near the zippered pouch and some travel creases from use, but otherwise it’s in good shape. I figured someone must be missing it after a long flight or road trip—hoping the owner recognizes it. If this belongs to you, check the tag initials and share what you last stored in the pillow pouch.

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.
