Mid-century walnut coffee table with glass top
Description
Found a mid-century walnut coffee table with a glass top this afternoon around 2:15pm outside Seaview Market on Oceanview Ave in South Coast. It's about 48 inches long and 20 inches wide, with a single small drawer and a brass knob. The finish shows gentle wear—a few scratches and a faint water ring on the glass top—and one leg sits a hair shorter, so it wobbles a bit when you push on it. It feels like a cherished piece someone might be missing, maybe a family heirloom or a favorite living room update, so I left it near the market entrance with a note in case the owner returns. If this is yours, drop me a note in the app and we can coordinate pickup near the South Coast Community Center.

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.
