Description
I was grabbing a latte yesterday around 3pm and think I left my charcoal gray Patagonia fleece hoodie outside the Starbucks on State Street near Paseo Nuevo. It's a medium, with a bright orange zipper pull and a small tear near the left cuff; the pocket has a tiny blue thread snag that makes it easy to spot. The inside tag reads 'Patagonia' and it has my initials 'PK' embroidered on the hem. It really matters to me—it's my go-to jacket and it was a gift from my mom; I'd be grateful to get it back if anyone found it.

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.
