Red Columbia puffer jacket with faux-fur hood
Description
I was walking home yesterday around 3pm when I realized my red Columbia puffer jacket was gone. It's a size medium, bright red with a detachable faux-fur hood, and it has a small blue enamel snowflake pin on the zipper pull. The jacket is in decent condition, a few faint scuffs on the cuffs from biking, and there's a tiny coffee stain near the hem from a campus coffee run. It means a lot to me—my sister gave it to me last winter, and it helps me feel warmer during the long Moscow winters. If you found it, please reach out near the Moscow Public Library on Main Street; I’d be forever grateful.

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.
