Emerald green gown with beaded neckline
Description
I lost my emerald green floor-length gown by Adrianna Papell yesterday around 3pm near the Liberty University Bookstore on University Blvd in Lynchburg. It's a size 6, with a satin underlay, an illusion beaded neckline, and a detachable chiffon belt. The gown is in good condition overall, but there’s a small bead missing near the neckline and a tiny snag on the hem from last night's bus ride. It has sentimental value—it's the dress I wore for my grandmother’s 80th birthday and I’d really love to have it back. If you found something like this outside the Liberty University Bookstore on University Boulevard in Lynchburg, please let me know.

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.
