Description
I found this framed teal-and-gold abstract painting this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Northpark Mall on Main Street in Joplin. It's a 16x20 inch canvas in a matte black frame with a few minor nicks on the edge. The swirls are teal and cobalt blue with hints of copper that catch the light, and there's a small white signature 'L. Rivera' in the bottom right corner. On the back, there's a dusty gallery label and a tiny coffee ring mark on the frame. If someone is missing this piece, send me a note here and we can arrange a quick pickup at the Northpark entrance.

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.
