Lost: Navy pinstripe suit in Richmond, VA
Description
I lost my navy pinstripe suits after a late client meeting. I parked near the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on Cary Street. Around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized the suits were missing from the back seat of my car. There are two jackets and two matching trousers, all in good condition, with a copper button detail on one jacket. They’re my go-to attire for important meetings, and I’m anxious about dressing for next week’s conference. I keep imagining them sitting on the back seat, or perhaps left behind in the lot at the VMFA. If you’ve seen them, please hold onto them until I can get back to Richmond to claim them.

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.
