Lost remote controls in Boone, North Carolina, United States.
Description
I was wrapping up a movie last Friday around 9:15 p.m., sitting in my Boone apartment on King Street, when I realized my remote controls were gone. I had just turned off the TV after a long day of classes and work, and the remotes were on the coffee table by the bay window; when I looked again, they were missing. They’re a black pair, one with a blue power button and the other with a slightly worn grip—both well-loved after years of use. It’s a little frustrating because I rely on them to unwind in that neighborhood, and I keep hoping they’ll turn up on the couch cushions where I last sat. If you’ve found them anywhere around the ASU campus neighborhood, please consider returning them to the building’s front desk in Boone, North Carolina, United States.

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.
