Olive green North Face parka found near Walmart Odessa
Description
I found an olive-green North Face parka this afternoon in the parking lot behind the Walmart on Andrews Highway in Odessa. It's a men's size L, insulated with a faux-fur hood, and it has a small blue rocket pin on the zipper pull. The jacket is in decent shape, a little wrinkled from the rain, with no rips or tears—it's a winter seasonal coat, after all, and I figured it should find its way back. It was left near a black tote bag with a red knit beanie tucked inside, by the cart corrals near the entrance. If this is yours, describe the pin or the initials inside the inner tag to confirm.

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.
