Description
8:20 a.m. Saturday, after a jog along the Augusta Riverwalk, I realized my favorite scarf was gone. I had paused on a bench near the Morris Museum of Art to tie my shoes, and it must have slipped from my coat. It's a thick gray scarf my grandmother knitted, and it feels like a hug on cold mornings; I’ve worn it through countless chilly classes and late-night shifts. If you found it anywhere along the Riverwalk, by the fountain, or near the gazebo, please know it carries a lot of warmth and memory for me.

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.
