Description
I lost my framed seascape painting yesterday around 3pm. It's a 16x20 inch oil on canvas with deep navy blues, turquoise greens, and a touch of coral at the horizon. The ornate gold frame has a small dent on the top-left corner, and there's a barely legible signature in the bottom right that reads 'M. Rivera.' I had it hanging by the front door of my place along St. George Street, near the Castillo de San Marcos, and I must have missed it when I locked up yesterday afternoon. This piece was a gift from my grandmother, so it feels irreplaceable and I really need it back.

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.
