Description
I dropped my gold necklace yesterday around 3pm near the Brownsville Historical Museum on Ringgold Street, by the cafe entrance outside. It's a delicate 18-inch, unbranded 14k gold chain with a small heart pendant that has a tiny sapphire at the center. On the back of the pendant there's an engraving with the initials 'LM' - a key identifying feature. The chain is in generally good condition, but the clasp is a bit stiff and there's a faint scratch on the pendant. This necklace was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me; I really need it back.

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.
