Orange parka with faux fur hood
Description
I found a bright orange The North Face parka with a plush faux fur hood this morning around 9:15 in Soldotna, near the Safeway parking lot off the Sterling Highway. It's a size L, water-resistant shell with a blue zipper pull and a small bear sticker on the left sleeve. The jacket is in good used condition, a few light scuffs on the cuffs and a little pilling on the inner lining, but overall sturdy for Alaska winters. It smells faintly of pine and rain, and I imagine it kept someone warm on a long drive. If this jacket is yours, I’d love to get it back—please reach out so we can arrange a pickup near Rotary Park.

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.
