Description
I found a white medical alert bracelet this afternoon around 2:15pm near the entrance to Battery Park Book Exchange on Battery Park Ave in downtown Asheville. It's a slim stainless steel bracelet with a white enamel ID plate and a small red heart charm. The plate has no obvious brand logo, but the engraving on the inside reads 'A. Rivera' and 'Allergies: Penicillin.' It's in decent condition with a few light scratches from daily wear. I'd be thrilled to get it back to its owner—if this sounds like yours, send me a message here and we can arrange a pickup.

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.
