Description
I was at a charity gala in downtown Oklahoma City yesterday around 7 pm, and I think I left my gown on a chair in the Colcord Hotel lobby on Main Street. It's a black velvet evening gown with an emerald-beaded belt, size 6, in excellent condition except for a tiny tear on the left hem and a faint lipstick stain on the inner lining. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If anyone found it, please text me—I can verify the emerald belt, the hem tear, and the lining details.

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.
