Orange LED pumpkin lantern found near Oak Harbor marina
Description
I found a bright orange LED pumpkin lantern this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk by the Oak Harbor marina, a small seasonal Halloween decor piece. It's about 6 inches tall, made of sturdy plastic, and the glow comes from a warm amber LED behind a carved jack-o'-lantern face. There’s a tiny green leaf sticker on the stem and the battery-compartment cover has a small dent from a fall, but it’s still in good condition overall. It clearly lived on someone’s porch for Halloween and I figured it’d be nice to get it back to its owner before the season winds down. If this is yours, reply here and we can figure out a pickup in Oak Harbor.

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.
