Lost handheld and game console in Catskills
Description
On Friday at exactly 7:25 p.m., I realized my handheld and console were missing from my backpack after I stopped for a coffee near the Woodstock Green in the Catskills. The handheld is in a blue protective case with a few sticker hearts, and the console is a matte black controller with a small dent on the grip. I spent the afternoon hiking the blue trails and snapping photos, and the thought of losing both hurts more than the devices' value. They mean a lot to me for the trip and the memories we made today. If you happened to see anything matching this description around Woodstock or the Green in the Catskills, please keep an eye out.

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.
