Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm found near Riverfront Park
Description
I found a gold-tone bracelet with a small silver heart charm and a tiny engraved 'A' on the clasp around 4:15 pm this afternoon near the pedestrian bridge on Jefferson Street in Lynchburg. It’s a slim, adjustable link style with a couple of tiny enamel flowers along the edges, and there’s a light scratch along the clasp from wear. The bracelet looks in decent condition overall, and it felt like it might belong to someone who’d be bummed to lose it—could be sentimental. If this is yours, drop me a line at [email protected] with a description of the charms or the engraved initial so we can arrange a pickup downtown.

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.
