Description
I lost my red Columbia windbreaker yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Glaize Bridge parking lot off Osage Beach Road, right by Lake of the Ozarks. It’s a size M, red nylon shell with a black zipper and a white diagonal stripe along the zipper line, plus a small orange fox patch on the left chest. There’s a faint coffee stain on the hem from a quick stop at a cafe. It’s sentimental to me—it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back. If anyone finds it, please reach out; I’d be forever grateful.

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.
