Gold-tone bracelet with turquoise bead, found downtown Parkersburg
Description
I found this bracelet this afternoon around 3:15pm along the riverfront walkway near the Parkersburg Public Library on Market Street. It's a gold-tone bracelet with a small turquoise bead and a tiny heart charm that dangles from the clasp. The clasp is a little stiff, and there's a faint scratch on the inner side where the metal has worn. It looks well-made but shows signs of wear, probably from daily use. If you're the owner and you can describe these features (the turquoise bead, the heart charm, and the inner scratch), drop me a message so we can arrange pickup in the Parkersburg area.

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.
