Description
Saturday around 3:15 PM I was wandering Seville Square in Pensacola, by the fountain on Palafox Street, when I realized my brooches were missing. They’re two delicate pins: one with a tiny sea-blue stone in a gold setting, the other a tiny peacock feather motif. They were tucked in a small blue velvet pouch inside my tote, and I must have bumped the bag and not noticed. I’ve checked the car and the cafe where I had coffee, but nothing turned up. Those brooches carry memories from my grandmother, and I’d love to have them back with their rightful owner.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
