Found hand-painted ceramic wall plaque of tropical bird
Description
Found this morning around 9:45 near the front steps of PAMM on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. It's a hand-painted ceramic wall plaque featuring a tropical parrot, turquoise background with gold trim and coral accents. The piece sits about 12 inches tall and 8 inches wide; the glaze is bright and glossy, with one small chip on the bottom left corner and a hairline crack along the parrot's wing. On the back there's an engraved initials 'A.R.' and a faint 'Made in Florida' stamp. I’m sure it belongs to someone who loves it—hope to reunite you with it. If it sounds like yours, DM me with the initials on the back and where you last had it.

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.
