Mid-century walnut coffee table found
Description
I found a mid-century walnut coffee table this afternoon around 2:30pm in front of the Fairbanks Public Library, 121 2nd Ave. It's a rectangular table, about 42 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 15 inches tall, with a lower shelf and a rich walnut finish. There are a few light scratches along the edges and a small dent on the top left corner. Under the bottom shelf there's a brass label that reads 'MCM 1967'. The legs still have tiny felt pads. It looks well-loved but sturdy. I know this piece probably belongs to someone who uses it daily, so if this is yours, reply here and we can figure out a pickup nearby.

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.
