Oak coffee table with glass top found
Description
I found an oak coffee table with a glass inset this afternoon around 4pm, right behind a storefront on Front Street in Traverse City, Northern Michigan near Clinch Park. It's a rectangular piece, about 48 by 22 inches, with a warm oak finish and a clear glass top that has a slight bevel. The table is in pretty good shape, just a small dent on the left front leg and a couple light scratches along the edge. One identifying feature: a faded circular coffee ring on the underside of the glass and two small felt pads under the back legs. If someone recognizes it, please get in touch and I’ll arrange a pickup—happy to help return it to its owner.

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.
