Lost wall art near Buddy Holly Center
Description
I lost my wall art hanging by the Buddy Holly Center on 19th Street at about 11:15 PM on a Tuesday after a long evening of painting. When I got back, the nail was bare and the canvas was gone. The piece is a 24x36 abstract landscape, bold strokes of fiery orange and teal against a charcoal background, set in a plain black frame. I’m hoping someone might have tucked it aside for safekeeping or mistaken it for a stray. I picture it in the Depot District, propped against a doorway or leaning behind a coffee shop chair. If you’ve seen it, please help me bring it back to the building it came from. I’m keeping faith.

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.
