Found Fossil chronograph watch with leather strap
Description
I found a black Fossil chronograph watch this afternoon around 2:45pm in Jackson, outside the City Library parking lot on Main Street near the riverfront. It's a Fossil brand with a black dial, three subdials, a stainless steel case, and a dark brown leather strap that's a bit worn at the buckle. The glass has a small scratch at the 7 o'clock edge, and there’s a tiny engraving on the back: 'To J.A.' I didn’t find any papers or a box, so I’m posting here in hopes the owner sees it. If this is yours, reply in the app with the engraving or the approximate time you last wore it, and we can arrange a meetup.

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.
