Framed abstract painting, blue-gold, 20x24
Description
I lost my framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm. It's a 20x24 inch acrylic on canvas with a blue-gold color scheme, housed in a dark hand-carved oak frame that has a small scratch along the bottom edge. Back of the painting includes a thin metal hanging wire and a certificate of authenticity; I can describe the signature in the bottom-right corner that reads 'L. Park 2022.' It was a gift from my sister and carries a lot of sentimental value, so I'm really hoping someone turned it in. I last saw it near the Starbucks on The Strip in Tuscaloosa before I headed to my car.

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.
