Navy knit scarf with silver anchor charm
Description
I found a navy knit scarf this morning around 9:15am in front of the CVS on Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. It's a medium-weight scarf, about 60 inches long, with a subtle silver thread woven through and a tiny silver anchor charm stitched near the end. There’s a small label that reads 'Everly' tucked into one corner. The scarf is in good condition, just a bit wrinkled from being on the ground. It looked like someone might be shivering and rushing by, so I grabbed it to make sure it didn’t get lost again. If you lost a scarf like this near downtown Sarasota, message me and we can arrange a quick meetup near the library on Main Street or CVS.

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.
