14k gold emerald ring with M.K. engraving
Description
I lost my 14k gold ring yesterday around 3pm near the Monroe Public Library on Main Street. It’s a slim, slightly worn band with a small emerald set in a simple bezel, about a standard finger size. There’s an engraving inside the band: 'M.K.' and a tiny scratch near the 7 o'clock position—easy to spot if you look closely. It’s sentimental; it was a gift from my grandmother and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop it off at the Monroe Library desk or the police lobby, or message me here. It’s in good condition besides the scratch, and I’m hoping a kind person did the right thing.

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.
