Description
Found a teak mid-century coffee table this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Trader Joe's on Stockdale Avenue in Bakersfield. It’s about 48 inches long, 20 inches wide, with a smooth glossy surface and a small dent on the front-left leg. There’s a faint maker’s stamp on the underside that reads 'ND Studio' and a single shelf underneath. I’m keeping it in a safe spot and figured someone might be missing a piece that ties their living room together. If this sounds like yours, tell me the maker mark and where you last stored it so I can help reunite you.

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.
