Description
I found a small clear display tin full of vintage enamel pins this morning around 10am in the Tri-Cities, behind the Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick, near the Red Robin entrance. The tin is about 3x2 inches with a red border, and inside is a quick set: a silver rocket pin, a blue planet, and a red volcano pin, each about 1 inch tall. The pins are in good condition with bright colors, though the rocket pin has a tiny scratch on its enamel edge that catches the light. If someone recognizes them as theirs, I’m happy to hand them over and help arrange a meetup.

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.
