Description
I lost my round walnut end table with a brass knob yesterday around 3pm. It's a Lane Furniture piece, walnut finish, about 22 inches across and 18 inches tall, with a single shallow drawer. The surface has a coffee ring stain and a small nick along the edge, but it’s otherwise in decent shape. I think I last had it outside the Buffalo Zoo entrance on Parkside Ave while I stepped out for a quick phone call, and I must have left it on the sidewalk by the benches. It was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting 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.
