Description
I lost my slim silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Corning, right by the Elmira-Corning Public Library steps. It's a delicate piece, about 7 inches long, with a tiny heart charm engraved 'Mom' and a small turquoise bead on the clasp. The bracelet is second-hand but special—it was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value. If anyone found something like this on the sidewalk by Main and Market or near the library entrance, please reach out—I'm really hoping to get it back.

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.
