Gold teardrop earrings with pearl charm
Description
I lost my gold teardrop earrings with a tiny freshwater pearl dangling at the bottom yesterday around 3pm. I was in the Walmart parking lot on 6th Street in Pittsburg, KS, Southeast Kansas, and then I wandered toward the Pittsburg Public Library on Broadway; they could be anywhere along that route. They’re gold-tone, about 1 inch long, with a delicate post and a small emerald crystal near the top of the left earring. One of the backs is a bit scratched, which is easy to spot if you're looking closely. These have sentimental value — they were a gift from my grandmother — and I’d really appreciate getting them back if anyone found them.

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.
