Navy knit scarf with leather tag
Description
I lost my navy knit scarf this afternoon around 3:15pm. I was wandering through Church Street Marketplace in Burlington, Vermont, near the Ben & Jerry's when I realized it was gone. It's a mid-weight scarf from L.L.Bean, ribbed knit, about 60 inches long and 8 inches wide, with a small brown leather tag on one end. There's a tiny pull on the left corner and a couple of loose threads, but overall it's still in decent shape. This scarf means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother, and Vermont winters feel a lot lonelier without it. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d really appreciate getting it back.

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.
