Lost handheld and console in Binghamton, NY
Description
I lost my handheld and console this past Friday around 7:15 PM in Binghamton, New York. I had been walking along Court Street toward the Chenango Riverfront after a comics night at the Forum Theatre when a gust pushed my backpack and I dropped them on the curb by the pedestrian bridge. By the time I realized, the crowd had moved on and they were gone. The handheld is a gray device with a cracked screen; the other is a black home console with a white controller. They’re priceless to me, filled with saved games and memories from weekends with friends. If you found them near Court Street, the Forum Theatre area, or the Chenango Riverwalk, I’d be grateful for their return.

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.
