Description
I lost my gray knit scarf this afternoon around 3pm near the Charleston City Market entrance on Market Street. It's a mid-weight scarf, about 60 inches long, with a thin red stripe along the edge and small silver-stitched initials 'C.R.' in the lower corner. The scarf has a little pilling and a tiny snag on the fringe from daily wear. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I'm really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, please message me here or drop it off at the Market Street information desk—I'll come collect it as soon as I can.

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.
