Description
I’m hoping someone found my mid-century teak coffee table, with a warm honey finish, about four feet long. It has a single shallow dent on the bottom left leg and a faint blue painter’s tape mark on the underside. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm in the Market Street seating area near The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. It’s really important to me because it’s been in our living room for years and holds sentimental value—it was a gift from my aunt. If you’ve seen it, please drop me a line; I’d be incredibly grateful to be reunited with it.

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.
