Description
I lost my framed oil painting of a Morgantown sunset yesterday around 5pm near the Starbucks on High Street. It's a 14x18 inch piece, oil on canvas, in a dusty gold frame with a small chip on the lower left corner and the initials 'A.L.' painted in the bottom corner. It was a gift from my sister and has sentimental value; I really hope it didn't slip into someone else's hands. If you found it, please DM me or text me—I'm happy to meet at the Starbucks on High Street or at the WVU Student Union courtyard to pick it up. I'd be forever grateful to have it back.

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.
