Slim 14k gold ring with crescent moon etching, lost
Description
I am Priya Patel, and I lost my slim 14k gold ring yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park’s overlook along North 8th Street in Sioux Falls, SD. It’s a narrow 4mm band with a brushed satin finish, about a size 6. The outside has a tiny crescent moon etched near the setting, and the inside is engraved 'P.P. 11/2015'. It means a lot to me because it was my grandmother’s, a small reminder of her, and I’m really hoping it turns up. I last remember taking it off for a quick walk after grabbing a coffee by the stone bridge near Falls Park, around the big Sycamore trees. If you’ve seen it, email me at [email protected].

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.
