Black velvet evening gown with pearl belt
Description
I found a black velvet evening gown this afternoon around 1:45pm outside the Beacon Train Station on Main Street in Beacon, Hudson Valley. It's a floor-length Adrianna Papell gown, size 6, with a detachable pearl-embellished belt and a champagne lining. The fabric has a subtle sheen and the belt sits at the natural waist, making the dress feel both classic and a little glamorous. There’s a small pull near the hem and a few beads along the belt, but otherwise it’s in good condition. Inside the tag it reads Adrianna Papell, size 6, which should help the owner identify it quickly. If this sounds like yours, message me with a brief description of the belt and tag so I can return it to you at the Beacon Lost & Found.

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.
