Black rectangular glasses with silver hinges
Description
I found a pair of black rectangular glasses this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Natchez Visitor Center on Canal Street in Natchez, MS, right in Southwest Mississippi. They’re prescription-style frames, matte black plastic with slim silver hinges and clear lenses; there’s a tiny scratch along the right lens and a faint smudge on the left temple. Inside the left temple there’s an engraving that looks like 'JH'. They came with a brown leather hard case that’s a bit worn, with a faded logo. I’m posting here because I know how sentimental these things can be for someone; if these are yours, I’d love to get them back to you—happy to meet up around Canal Street or at the Natchez Visitor Center to hand them over.

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.
