Found teal beach umbrella with coral pattern
Description
I found a teal beach umbrella this afternoon around 3:45pm behind Coligny Plaza, near the Coligny Beach parking lot on Pope Avenue, Hilton Head. It's about six feet tall with a teal canopy that has a subtle coral print, a wooden shaft, and a slightly nicked metal tip. There’s a blue paracord loop tied to the handle with the initials 'RB' carved into the wood, plus a faded SunSafe carrying sleeve. A few sun-fade spots are visible, but otherwise it's in decent shape. If you're the owner, drop me a line and I’ll get it back to you — I hate to see a nice umbrella wander off on a sunny day.

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.
