Red North Face parka with faux fur hood
Description
I lost my bright red North Face winter parka yesterday around 3pm in Harrisonburg. It's a men's medium, bright red with a black faux-fur hood. The left zipper pull sticks a bit, and there's a small maple-leaf patch sewn on the right sleeve. Inside, the label has my initials 'KP' and a faded heart sticker I stuck there last winter. I was by Court Square on Main Street, near the little coffee stand, after grabbing a coffee before heading to class. It means a lot to me—mom gave it to me last Christmas, and I felt lost without it. If you found it, let me know here in the app so we can arrange pickup.

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.
