Brown tortoiseshell eyeglasses with gold hinges, initials inside
Description
I lost my brown tortoiseshell eyeglasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Peach Street in Erie. They're rectangular, medium width, with thin gold hinges and clear nose pads. The inside of the left temple is engraved with my initials 'PP', and there’s a small scratch on the left lens I noticed while cleaning them yesterday. They came with a black leather hard case with a red satin lining; the case has a tiny dent in the corner. I really need them back because they’re prescription and I’ve got a lot of reading to do for work. If you found them, email me at [email protected] and we can figure out a quick meet-up.

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.
