Two-tone Fossil watch with engraved initials
Description
I found a two-tone Fossil wristwatch this afternoon around 2:45pm outside City Creek Center, near the Nordstrom entrance on Main Street in Salt Lake City. It's a 42mm stainless steel case with a black dial and a brushed silver bezel, attached to a slightly worn two-tone bracelet. The back is engraved with the initials 'AR' and there's a tiny scratch near the 3 o'clock mark, but everything still works fine. I know how panicky you can feel when you misplace a watch that's meaningful to you, so I figured I’d post here in case the owner sees it and recognizes the details. If it's yours, tell me the back engraving and roughly where you last wore it.

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.
