Description
I found a pair of earrings this afternoon around 3:15 pm near the Palm Springs Art Museum entrance on Museum Way, right outside the cafe across from it. They’re gold-tone hoops about an inch in diameter, with a tiny turquoise bead hanging from the front of one hoop. There’s a delicate heart engraving on the inside of the other hoop, and a faint scratch along the back from where they were on the ground. They look worn but okay otherwise. If you recognize them, I’d like to help reunite them with their owner—we can meet up near the museum or at a nearby cafe to hand them over.

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.
