2-quart stainless saucepan with glass lid
Description
I lost my 2-quart stainless steel saucepan with a glass lid yesterday around 4pm. It's a satin-finish pot with a small dent on the rim and a faint heat discoloration on the bottom. The handle has a green silicone sleeve that tends to slip off, and inside there's a tiny coffee-ring stain from a recent recipe. It meant a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, so I really hope to get it back. I last had it outside the Valley Library plaza on the OSU campus, near 26th Street in Corvallis (not far from the Memorial Union). If you found it, reach out to me at [email protected].

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.
