Silver bracelet with heart charm and blue bead
Description
I lost my silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Sarasota, right in the heart of the Sarasota-Bradenton area. It’s a slender 7-inch chain with a delicate heart charm and a tiny blue sapphire bead that catches the light as I move. The clasp has a small scratch from a tiny tumble last week, which I sort of marked in my head so I’d recognize it. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—sentimental value I’m really hoping to recover. If you found something matching this around that area, maybe by the parking lot behind the cinema or around the bookstore nearby, please email me and we can sort it out quickly.

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.
