Description
I lost my red knit scarf this afternoon around 2:45pm along the Riverwalk by Front Street in Wilmington. It's a thick acrylic scarf, about 60 inches long, with a tiny pinecone patch sewn near the hem and frayed ends. The scarf is soft but a bit pilled from daily wear, and it has a small snag near the left corner. It was a gift from my grandmother for last Christmas, so it means a lot to me and I'd really love to get it back. If you found it near the Riverwalk, the bookstore on Market Street, or the coffee shop on Front Street, please let me know.

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.
