Description
On Sunday around 5:15 PM, after a quick flight at Summit Lake Park in Akron, I realized my two drones were missing from the black hard case I left on a bench near the boat launch. The drones are a white DJI Mavic Mini with a red sticker and a smaller spare drone with orange guards, plus a charger and a microSD card case. The bag sat under a maple tree by the water’s edge, and I scanned the area along the path that circles the lake, feeling a mix of disappointment and panic. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful to hear through the site.

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.
