Mid-century teak coffee table with glass top
Description
I found a mid-century teak coffee table with a glass top this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Dahl Arts Center on 7th Street in Rapid City, West SD. It's a rectangular piece about 48 inches long and 20 inches wide, with a warm teak finish and a clear glass inset that lets the grain shine. There’s a small nick on the front edge and a faint scratch along the underside of the glass rim, plus a tiny brass maker’s mark on the underside that reads 'D.J. Co.' It would be great to reunite it with its owner—if you’re missing it, I’d be glad to coordinate an easy pickup.

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.
