Silver watch with blue dial found near Las Olas Blvd
Description
I found a silver stainless steel watch with a blue dial and a black leather strap this afternoon around 3:15 pm, tucked under a bench along Las Olas Blvd near the Riverwalk in Fort Lauderdale. The watch is in decent condition, with a small scratch along the bezel near the 4 o'clock mark. On the back there's a tiny engraving, 'M.K.' and a date that looks like '02/18' — not sure if it's part of the model, but it's definitely unique. I imagine someone might be missing it, and I'd love to help get it back to its owner. If this sounds like yours, I'm happy to coordinate a meetup near Riverwalk or at a nearby cafe.

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.
