Found ceramic coffee mug with blue glaze and chip
Description
I found a ceramic coffee mug this afternoon around 2:45pm near the public library on Main Street in downtown Del Rio. It's a handmade mug with a deep blue glaze that fades to teal toward the bottom, about 12 oz capacity, and a chunky, easy-to-hold handle. There's a small chip on the rim, and a faint coffee ring on the inside bottom. On the bottom, there's a tiny stamped heart and the initials 'ML' that might help the owner identify it. It looks like it meant something to someone—it feels wrong to keep it—if you're missing a mug with a blue glaze and a little heart stamp, I hope this helps get it back to you.

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.
