Description
I lost my blue-dial Seiko watch yesterday around 3pm near the Portland Public Library on Congress Street in Portland, ME. It's a Seiko 5 automatic with a brown leather strap and a 40mm stainless steel case. The dial has a sunburst blue finish and silver hands; there's a tiny scratch on the bezel at 2 o'clock, and my initials 'PP' are engraved on the back. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value—I'm really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please drop it off at the Portland Police Department or message me here, 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.
