Emerald green beaded gown found near Hyannis
Description
I found a floor-length emerald green gown with gold beading along the neckline, folded on a chair in the parking lot behind the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis last Friday around 6:15 pm. It's a women's size M, with a satin ribbon belt and a tiny seashell charm pinned to the zipper pull. Inside, the tag says 'Lina's Bridal, size M' and there's a small monogram 'A.R.' on the lining. The fabric looks pristine, just a bit wrinkled from being carried. This seems like something special, and I’m hoping to help the owner get it back before their event. If this matches yours, message me with distinguishing details.

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.
