Navy knit scarf with red tassel
Description
I found a navy knit scarf this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Riverfront Trail pedestrian bridge behind the Market Street entrance in Downtown Grand Junction, Western Slope. It’s a medium-length scarf, likely an acrylic-wool blend, with a bright red tassel on one end. There are white initials 'A.L.' embroidered near the far edge, which gives it a personal touch. The scarf is in decent shape, with a small coffee stain on the corner and a little pilling from wear. I figured someone might be missing it, especially if it was a thoughtful gift or has sentimental value—hoping to see it back with its owner. If you know who it belongs to, send a message here and we can arrange a quick pickup.

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.
