Description
Yesterday around 6pm I lost my Seiko watch after leaving a small cafe near the Acropolis Museum on Dionysiou Areopagitou Street in Athens. It's a Seiko, 40mm silver-tone case with a brown genuine leather strap. The watch shows a few scuffs on the glass at 2 o'clock and a tiny notch in the strap from daily wear. The back is engraved with my initials 'AP' which helps identify it. It was a gift from my dad and it means a lot to me; I’m really hoping to find it. If you happened to see it or picked it up, please let me know—thank you.

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.
