Sterling silver bracelet with heart charm found near Bryant-Denny
Description
I found a sterling silver bracelet yesterday around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the University Bookstore on University Boulevard, in Tuscaloosa near Bryant-Denny Stadium. It's about 7 inches long, with a simple chain and a small heart charm that has a delicate floral engraving. The clasp shows a faint scratch from wear, and on the inside of the charm there's a tiny 'A.J.' engraving that might help identify the owner. The bracelet is in good overall condition beyond that minor wear. If this belongs to you, I can arrange a meetup near Bryant-Denny Stadium or at the library to verify ownership and get it back.

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.
