Description
I lost my navy knit scarf yesterday around 3pm outside the Butte Public Library on South Main Street. It’s a medium-length ribbed scarf, navy with a subtle charcoal stripe, and I think it’s from a small local shop (no tag I can remember). It has a tiny silver safety pin with a red heart charm stitched near the fringe, and the initials 'JS' embroidered inside the loop. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—sentimental stuff, you know. If you found it, dropping it off at the library desk or shooting me an email would really help me breathe easier tonight.

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.
