Description
Found a small silver locket this afternoon along Lake Road by Harbor Park, near the Ashtabula Pier. It's about the size of a quarter, polished silver with a tiny heart charm dangling and initials etched on the back ('A.J.'). The latch works, and there’s a light scratch from a breeze by the sidewalk. I picked it up near the bike racks outside the Harbor Market and tucked it into my pocket so it wouldn’t get stepped on. If this belongs to you, share the initials and roughly when you last had it, and I’ll drop it off at the municipal building for retrieval.

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.
