Blue Pyrex mixing bowl set with lids
Description
I found a blue Pyrex glass mixing bowl set with lids this morning around 9:15am behind the Roanoke City Market on Market Street. The bowls are clear glass with a cobalt blue trim, and they nest neatly—the largest is about 3.5 quarts, the middle 2.5, and the smallest 1.5. All three lids snap on snugly, though there’s a tiny chip on the rim of the smallest bowl and a faint pencil mark 'T.M.' on the bottom that might help identify the owner. They look recently used but clean, as if someone grabbed them for a quick kitchen task before leaving. If you’re the owner, I’d like to reunite you with your bowls.

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.
