Red knitted scarf with fox pin
Description
I lost my red knitted scarf yesterday around 3pm near Court Square on Main Street in Harrisonburg. It's a soft, medium-weight scarf about 5 feet long, with a tiny silver fox pin sewn near the end and a small coffee stain on the edge from last week's coffee run. The scarf is a warm heathered red; ends are slightly frayed from daily wear, and there's a faint knit pattern that stands out in the sunlight. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me last winter, and I really need it back. If you found it around Court Square or near the little coffee shop on Main Street, please email me at [email protected]; I’d be forever grateful.

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.
