Seiko 5 Sports watch found near Durham Museum
Description
I found a Seiko 5 Sports stainless steel watch with a black dial this morning around 9:15am in the parking lot behind the Durham Museum on 10th Street, Omaha. It's in decent shape, with a brushed stainless case, a clean black dial, white lume markers, and a day/date window at 3. The bracelet shows a few light scratches and there's a tiny dent near the 2 o'clock bezel, plus a red thread tied to the last keeper—easy to spot. The back is engraved with 'JDL' and a small serial number I can faintly make out. Happy to help reunite it with its owner; if this sounds like yours, DM me with any distinctive details you remember.

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.
