Description
I was taking a break behind a strip mall on Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale around 3:20 p.m. on Saturday when I noticed two microwaves tucked behind a dumpster in the parking lot. The appliances look undamaged and clean, just a bit dusty from a long day in storage. I figured someone might be missing them, so I brought them to the building’s security desk for safekeeping until the owner steps forward. I’m posting here to help reunite them with the rightful owner—these aren’t mine to keep, and I’d hate to see them go to waste.

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.
