Black Fossil chronograph watch with gold-tone bezel
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Fossil chronograph watch was gone. I was at the Central Library on South Main Street in Wichita when I must have taken it off in the lobby and set it down somewhere near the entrance by the bike racks. The watch is a black Fossil chronograph, 42mm stainless steel case with a gold-tone bezel and a matte black dial, attached to a black leather strap with white stitching. It has a small scratch on the right edge of the glass and my initials 'AR' engraved on the back. It really matters to me—it's a gift from my sister and holds a lot of sentimental value. If anyone found it, please message me; I’d be so grateful to get 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.
