Lost utensils after potluck near Morgantown Public Library
Description
I lost my utensils after helping clean up at the potluck behind the Morgantown Public Library on High Street, around 7:20 p.m. last Friday. It's a small dented silver set -- two forks, a spoon, and a black-handled knife -- that I always carry for family meals and camping trips. I remember setting my tote down near the folding table by the food truck, then turning to laugh with a friend, and when I looked back they were gone. They might still be on the ground near the curb or tucked into someone's jacket pocket after the bustle. If someone finds them, I'd be grateful to have them back; they're just part of my weekend routine.

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.
