Description
I lost my blue enamel cast-iron Dutch oven, a 4-quart Lodge, yesterday around 3pm. It's the one with a tiny chip on the lid rim and my initials 'J.P.' scratched on the bottom. I used it a lot for family meals—it's sentimental because it was my grandmother's, and I’d really love to get it back. I think I last had it near the Jackson Central Market on Main Street, outside the coffee shop by the corner, but it could have rolled toward the fountain by the library. If you found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you so we can arrange a safe pickup.

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.
