Description
I found a blue hardcover poetry book with gold lettering this afternoon around 4:15pm behind the Publix on Ocean Boulevard in Jensen Beach, Treasure Coast. The spine is a bit worn and the corners show light bumps, but the pages are clean. Inside, there's a pressed blue flower tucked between the pages and a tiny sun doodle on page 42. It looks like it's been well-loved, maybe a gift or a favorite read. If this belongs to someone, I would be glad to help get it back—happy to meet near the Publix or at the Jensen Beach Library to return it.

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.
