Framed abstract watercolor print found near Avenida Balboa
Description
I found a framed abstract watercolor print this afternoon around 3:10pm outside the American Trade Center on Avenida Balboa in Panama City. It's an 18 by 24 inch piece, in a black metal frame with a glass front, and the painting features blue and teal swirls with a touch of gold. There's a small signature 'L. Moreno' in the lower right corner and a back label that reads 'Coastal Echo, 2019.' I figured someone might be missing this and I'd be glad to return it to its owner. If this sounds familiar, reach out with back-label details or a photo of any corner chip, and we can arrange a safe meetup.

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.
