Black North Face puffer jacket lost in Sioux Falls
Description
I lost my black North Face 700 Fill Power puffer jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Empire Mall on 41st Street in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It's a men's medium, solid black with a bright red zip pull and a small tear at the left cuff where the pocket seams are frayed. Inside, there's a cobalt blue lining and a photo tucked into the inner pocket from my sister—it's a gift and means a lot to me. I was in the coffee shop by the Nordstrom entrance when I realized it wasn't there after I left for the bus stop on West 41st. Please reach out if you found it; it has sentimental value and I really need it back before the chilly weather hits.

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.
