Description
I lost my queen-size ivory duvet cover set yesterday around 3pm near the Public Square in downtown Scranton, by the Steamtown Mall entrance on Lackawanna Ave. The set includes the duvet cover and two matching pillowcases, soft sateen cotton with navy piping along the edges. There’s a tiny embroidered star in the bottom-right corner and a small fray along the inner hem—easy to spot if found. It’s a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and I’m really hoping it turns up. If you’ve seen it or picked it up, please reach out—thanks so much.

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.
