18-inch gold-plated necklace with heart pendant
Description
I lost my 18-inch gold-plated necklace yesterday around 3pm while I was walking back from the coffee shop on Main Street in Beckley, Southern West Virginia. It's a delicate piece with a thin chain and a small heart pendant about 1 cm across. On the back of the pendant there's a tiny emerald accent and initials 'LP' engraved near the bail. It was a gift from a close friend, so it has sentimental value and I'm really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate help getting it back. I think it may have fallen near the Stellar Cup cafe or the corner of Main Street and Prince Street.

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.
