Solid oak coffee table with brass inlays
Description
I lost my solid oak coffee table yesterday around 3pm in the West Virginia (old) district, after helping a neighbor move a sofa. It’s a rectangular table, about 4 feet long, with a warm honey oak finish, brass inlays along the edges, and a single shallow drawer with a brass pull. The surface shows a faint coffee ring and a small scratch on the right corner, and there’s a subtle carved leaf motif on the drawer front. This table has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me 20 years ago, and it’s been in our living room through so many family moments. If anyone found it near the old courthouse on Market Street or around the nearby shops, please reach out; I really need 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.
