lost: Toasters in Boston near Fenway Park
Description
Last Tuesday around 7:15 p.m., I was in my apartment on Commonwealth Avenue when I realized my two toasters were missing from the kitchen counter. They’re a matching black chrome set, a gift from my grandmother, with a small dent on one corner and a faded sticker on the bottom. I must have left them by the window after I boiled water for tea, and when I turned back they were gone. It may sound silly, but these toasters are part of my morning routine and I’m devastated to think someone else is using them now. If they turn up anywhere near Fenway Park or Back Bay, I’d be grateful to get them back.

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.
