Red plaid wool scarf with snowflake embroidery
Description
I lost my red plaid wool scarf yesterday around 3pm. It's a Thick, six-foot-long scarf with bold red and forest-green plaid, and there's a small white snowflake embroidery near the bottom hem. The ends have fringe, and one tassel is longer than the other. I was walking from Chippewa Square toward Forsyth Park along Drayton Street, near the Forsyth Park fountain, and I must have dropped it on a bench by a vendor cart. It meant a lot to me—my grandmother gave it to me and it keeps me warm on chilly mornings. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can describe the embroidery and the longer tassel to verify.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

- 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.

- 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.
