Description
Found a ring this afternoon around 3:15pm, lying on the sidewalk near the Bronson Park fountain in downtown Kalamazoo. It's a 14k yellow gold band, about 6-7mm wide, with a small oval emerald set on top. The inside of the band has a faint engraving 'KM' and there's a tiny scratch along the outer edge from a scrape in the grass. The ring is in good shape overall, and I’d really like to help reunite it with its owner—if you know this ring, tell me what the engraving says or describe the setting and I’ll get it back to you.

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.
