Description
I found this navy blue satin evening gown yesterday around 4pm outside the Averitt Center for the Arts on Main Street in downtown Statesboro. It's floor-length, size M, with a fitted beaded bodice and a removable 1-inch silver belt at the waist. The gown is in good condition, maybe a tiny snag on the hem and a minor pull near the zipper, but nothing major. Inside the lining there’s a tag that reads 'Eliza J' and a small fabric patch with the initials 'KB'—two unique identifiers. If this is yours, I’d love to get it back to you; I know how much a dress like this can mean.

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.
