Description
I found a mid-century oak coffee table with a glass top this morning around 9:15am on the sidewalk outside the Ithaca Commons, along East State Street. It’s a warm honey oak, about 40 inches long and 18 inches deep, with slim black metal legs. The glass top is in good shape, but there are a few light scratches along the edge and a tiny dent on the lower rail. There’s a faded label under the glass that reads 'West Elm' if you tilt it just so. It seems solid and clean overall. If this belongs to you, I’d love to get it back to its rightful owner.

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.
