Oak coffee table with glass insert
Description
I found an oak coffee table with a glass insert this afternoon around 3:15 pm behind the CVS on Hardy Street in Hattiesburg, Southwest MS. It’s a solid piece, about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, with a dark oak finish and a glass center. There’s a small chip on the front left leg and a coffee-ring stain on the glass, plus a tiny heart sticker on the underside that reads 'HomeCo Vintage.' I figured someone might be missing it, so I left it where I found it, but can bring it to a safer spot if needed. If this is yours, message me here and we’ll arrange pickup once you can describe those identifying marks.

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.
