Description
I found a silver-tone Skagen watch with a mesh band this afternoon around 2:30pm outside the Oneonta Public Library on Main Street. The face is clean and white with slim markers, and there’s a tiny nick on the bezel at the 3 o'clock position. The back is engraved with the initials 'MKT'. The mesh band is lightweight but feels sturdy and it catches the light nicely. If this is yours, please message me with details like the engraving or where you last wore it, and we can arrange a safe meetup near the library to hand it back.

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.
