Found chokers in Worcester, Central MA.
Description
While walking along Worcester's Main Street on Tuesday at around 6:30 p.m., I found a cluster of chokers tossed onto a bench near the Worcester Public Library. They're black velvet with a few silver clasps and tiny charms that catch the streetlamp glow. A couple of them still have a tiny red thread from the packaging. I picked them up, tucked them into my jacket pocket for safety, and left them on the library bench with a note that someone might be looking for them. The damp air and the glow from the storefronts made me think of the people who chose these pieces to finish an outfit for a night out. If these are yours, please check the site so we can reunite them.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
