Description
I found a silver Seiko stainless steel watch with a black dial this afternoon around 2:45 PM near the north entrance of Millennium Park on Michigan Ave. It's in good shape overall, with minor scratches on the bezel and a small scuff on the clasp from being on the ground, but the crystal is clean and readable. The watch has two unique identifiers: initials 'J.R.' engraved on the back and a tiny dent near the 3 o'clock marker. If the owner spots this, I'm happy to meet near the park entrance to reunite it—it's a really nice piece and I hate to see it go missing.

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.
