Description
I'm Logan Reed, and I lost a pair of burgundy drapes. I was driving through the New River Valley on Saturday around 11:15 AM and pulled over near the Christiansburg Town Center while unloading groceries; in the bustle, the drapes slipped from the back seat and vanished down the street. They are long, heavy drapes with a brass tassel on the tieback, a telltale sign that people might notice. I'm anxious to get them back, and I hope someone who finds them will recognize them from the tassels; the drapes were lost, and that thought keeps me up at night.

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.
