Framed abstract painting, orange-blue palette
Description
I found a framed abstract painting this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the antique shop on West German Street in Shepherdstown. It's an 18x24 inch acrylic on canvas with a bold orange and cobalt blue palette, housed in a matte-black frame that has a small scratch on the lower-right corner. The back has a label reading 'Lina Rivera, 2019' and a tiny coffee ring mark along the bottom edge—unique clues that might help identify the owner. It's in good condition overall, just detached from its original hanging wire. If this looks like yours, drop a line and we can figure out a safe way to reunite 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.
