Mid-century teak coffee table with glass insert
Description
I lost my vintage Lane mid-century teak coffee table yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Sarasota. It's about 4 feet long, 18 inches tall, with a warm honey finish and a glass insert on the top, plus a lower shelf for magazines. The piece is in good condition overall, but the glass insert has a small chip on the front edge and there's a tiny circular burn mark on the underside of the lower shelf, which are pretty distinctive. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value, so I'm really hoping someone local might have seen it or picked it up. If you found it, please reach out and I can pick it up or arrange delivery in the Sarasota-Bradenton area.

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.
