Description
Friday evening, around 5:40 PM, I was setting up three paintings outside the Pump House Center for the Arts on West Water Street in downtown Chillicothe when a breeze and a passerby conversation pulled me away. When I stepped back, they were gone. The three works are landscapes: one river bend at sunset, one spring field with wildflowers, and a moody hillside at dusk, all in simple wooden frames. They mean a lot to me as part of a recent show. If anyone saw them or left them at the Pump House front desk, I’d be grateful for any help in getting them back to me.

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.
