Framed teal-gold abstract painting found downtown Sioux Falls
Description
I found a framed teal-gold abstract painting this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the SculptureWalk display on 8th Street near Main Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls. It's about 18 x 24 inches, with bold teal and metallic gold swirls on a deep navy background, housed in a black wood frame with a small scratch on the lower-right corner. On the back there's a white label reading 'L. Kim 2017' and a faint handwritten note. The piece looks slightly warped, but otherwise in good condition. If this belongs to you, I'd really like to help reunite you with it—I can't imagine losing something that looks this unique.

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.
