Description
I lost my mid-century walnut coffee table with brass legs yesterday around 3pm. It's a solid wood table, about 4 feet long, with a warm walnut finish and a brass-finished X-brace under the top. There's a small circular water ring near the center and a tiny dent on the front-right leg. I last saw it near the Boone Crossing shopping center, by the coffee shop on Blowing Rock Road after helping set up chairs for a small afternoon gathering. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate its return.

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.
