Red cable-knit scarf with tassels, found near Main St
Description
I found this red cable-knit scarf this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Starbucks on Main Street in Harrisonburg. It's a long scarf—roughly 60 to 70 inches—with a bright cherry red color and chunky cable-knit stitching, and fringed ends. There's a tiny embroidery heart near the hem and a small Pendleton label tucked into the corner, plus a faint coffee stain from yesterday's latte run. The scarf looks well-loved and super warm—perfect for the season. With winter around the corner, I’d really like to see it back with its owner; the color and those little details should help identify 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.
