Red North Face parka with faux fur hood
Description
I lost my red North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near Canal Walk by the White River, by Circle Centre Mall in Indianapolis. It’s a size medium, the shell has a few scuffs on the shoulder from last winter, and the fur hood is detachable but still attached. There’s a small yellow bumper sticker on the inner pocket that reads 'Explorer Club,' plus an old repair stitch on the left sleeve near the elbow. This coat really matters to me because it was a gift from my sister, and it helps me stay warm during our winter hikes. If anyone found it, please get in touch—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

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.
