Mid-century oak coffee table with brass trim
Description
I found a mid-century oak coffee table with a glass insert this afternoon around 2:45pm on Main Street, right outside the old Muncie Courthouse near the Adams Street corner. It’s about 4 feet long and 18 inches tall, with a glossy honey oak finish and a brass rim around the glass. There’s a small drawer in the middle with a brass pull, and underneath there’s a faint pencil scribble reading D-57 on the underside. The table shows some wear—a tiny dent on one leg and a scratch across the glass—but it feels sturdy and has a warm vintage vibe. If it belongs to someone, I’d love to help get it back; I can hold onto it for a bit while you swing by the area.

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.
