Lost Dresses near Big Spring Park, Huntsville, AL
Description
At 9:15 a.m. this morning, I was outside a boutique near Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville, browsing a few dresses I had been excited about. I set a lavender chiffon dress and a matching belt on a chair while I stepped inside for a moment, and when I turned back, they were gone. The fabric is soft lavender with delicate embroidery, the kind of thing that catches compliments. They were a gift from my sister, worn to a family wedding last weekend, and losing them feels personal and urgent. If you saw anything, or found a stray hanger or bag near the park, please help me get them back to my wardrobe.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

- 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.
