Description
I lost my red Le Creuset 3-quart enameled cast-iron saucepan with lid yesterday around 3pm outside the coffee shop on the ground floor of the Guardian Building, near Woodward Ave in downtown Detroit. It's bright red, glossy, and has a small chip on the rim plus a faint scratch across the lid from a kitchen mishap. This pan was a gift from my mom and holds sentimental value, especially for weekend pasta sauces. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back; I’ll meet you nearby or buy coffee as thanks.

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.
