Pink knit beanie with snowflake embroidery
Description
I found a pink knit beanie with a white snowflake pattern, adult size, in pretty good condition with just a tiny snag along the edge. I found it this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Bad Axe Public Library on Main Street, tucked against the bench near the entrance. It has a small blue patch with a white star sewn near the cuff and a faint label on the inside that reads 'Nordic Threads'. It feels like a winter staple and I can imagine it means a lot to the person who wore it. If this is yours, I’d be glad to return it—seasonal gear like this should stay warm with its owner.

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.
