Framed ocean seascape painting found near Las Olas
Description
I found a framed ocean seascape painting this afternoon around 2:15 pm along Las Olas Boulevard near the Riverside Market. It's an 18x24 inch print in a black wood frame with a glossy glass front, and there's a tiny dent in the bottom-right corner. The print is a blue-toned wave scene signed 'Marina Studio' in the lower-left, and the back has a small sticker reading 'L.M. 2023' plus a white hanging wire. It's in decent condition aside from a light layer of dust from being outdoors; I can imagine it being a thoughtful gift or a piece someone cherishes. If this sounds like yours, please reach out with any details about the back label or where you last had it.

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.
