Mid-century oak coffee table with glass top
Description
I lost my mid-century oak coffee table with a glass top yesterday around 3pm. It's about 48 inches long and 20 inches wide, with a clear glass insert set into a warm oak frame and chunky turned legs. There’s a small dent on the front edge and a barely visible scratch along the glass border; there’s also a brass tag underneath stamped with 'B. Reed'—hard to miss if you peek. This piece was a wedding gift from my grandmother, so it carries a lot of sentimental value and I’m really hoping to get it back. Last seen outside my apartment building on Main Street near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway after I ran out to grab the mail. If you found it, please email me at [email protected]—your help would mean the world.

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.
