Beige duvet cover with navy piping, found near Pike Place
Description
I found a beige queen-size duvet cover with navy piping this afternoon around 3:15pm outside Pike Place Market, near the street entrance on 1st Ave. It’s cotton sateen and in decent shape, with a small coffee stain along the bottom-left corner and a neat 'A.R.' monogram embroidered in navy on the top-left edge. The zipper works smoothly and there are no tears or pulls, just a bit of sun fade from being left out by the bench for a while. It was sitting by the sidewalk next to a striped tote bag, basically just waiting to be noticed. If this is yours, reply here with the monogram details and we can figure out a quick meetup nearby to get it back.

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.
