Description
I lost my gray North Face puffer jacket yesterday around 3pm. It's a men's size L, knee-length with a matte black zipper and a small tear on the left cuff from a spill last week. I noticed it near the Panera at the Logan Town Centre in Altoona-Johnstown, after hopping off the bus by the food court. Inside the left pocket, there's a faded red initials 'JJ' stitched on the lining, and the warm hood has a thin orange inner lining that peeks out when zipped. It has sentimental value to me because it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back for the chilly winter days.

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.
