Framed abstract canvas with coastal palette
Description
I lost my framed abstract canvas this afternoon around 2:45pm. It's a 16x20 inch piece painted in blues, teals, and sandy yellows, signed 'M. Chen' in the lower right corner. The frame is whitewashed wood with a slim gold inner trim, and the back has a label that reads 'Mira Chen Coastal Series.' There’s a tiny coffee-ring mark on the back edge that I’d recognize, plus a faint dent on the top-right corner of the frame. I last saw it near the Brunswick Public Library on Maine Street, outside the entrance by Market Street. It has sentimental value to me; I’d really love to get it back if anyone found it.

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.
