Mid-century teak coffee table with brass trim
Description
I lost my mid-century teak coffee table with a glass top and brass trim yesterday around 3pm. It was last seen outside Cafe Du Monde on Decatur Street in the French Quarter, sitting on the sidewalk near the benches. The table is about 48 inches long, honey-colored teak, with a glass inset and a brass edge; there’s a small dent on the edge and one leg is missing its rubber foot, so it wobbles a bit when you lean on it. Two identifying marks are a tiny engraving of 'JW' on the underside of one leg. This piece is sentimental—it was my grandfather's—and I’d be really grateful to get it back if found.

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.
