Red knit scarf with silver compass pin
Description
I lost my red knit scarf with a tiny silver compass pin yesterday around 3pm near Presque Isle Bathhouse Beach along the east path. It's a medium-length scarf, about 60 inches, with a chunky knit and a small white fringe on the end. I was walking from the parking lot toward the lakefront when I must have dropped it somewhere along the path. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me last winter, and it’s the one piece that always helps me feel warm and connected. If anyone found it, I’d be really grateful to get it back and can meet anywhere in Erie to pick it up or arrange a drop-off.

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.
