Gold-tone bracelet with engraved compass charm
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my gold-tone bracelet was missing while I was strolling through Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. It's a slim 6.5-inch gold-tone chain with a tiny compass charm on the clasp and a sapphire bead near the end; the links are delicate and a little worn from daily wear. There's a faint engraving on the back of the compass that reads 'M.G.' It's unbranded and really stands out on casual outfits, and it was a gift from my grandmother, so it has a lot of sentimental value. If you happened to find it, I’d really appreciate getting it back—I can meet up anywhere around Kalamazoo near Bronson Park to pick it up.

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.
