Description
I lost my USB Drives around 3:45 p.m. Saturday near Findlay Market's entrance in Over-the-Rhine. They held the latest student project, some family photos, and a few key draft PDFs. I had them in a small black USB case; last seen when I helped a neighbor unload her groceries at the market. The memory sticks on them hold a lot of personal data and a project I care about deeply. I retraced the stalls and checked the market steps; the smell of roasted nuts and coffee filled the air. If you found them, please keep them safe so I can reclaim them through the site.

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.
