Found ring: silver band with sapphire
Description
I found a ring this afternoon around 2:20pm on Olive Ave in Fresno, near the Tower District coffee spots, tucked between the curb and a storefront mat. It's a sterling silver band, about size 6, with a small oval blue sapphire set in a clean bezel. The finish is slightly brushed, not shiny, and there's a barely legible engraving on the inside: 'M.J. 04/2018'. I picked it up near the crosswalk at Olive and Blackstone after I saw it sitting there on the sidewalk. It seems like it might be sentimental to someone, so I’d really like to get it back to its owner—if this sounds like yours, tell me the engraving and where you think you lost it, and I’ll help reunite you.

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.
