Description
I found a small toy train on the Clarksville sidewalks near the APSU Bell Tower around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday while I was heading back from the library. The train is plastic, orange with blue stripes, and the wheels are a bit rough from being dragged along the concrete. It felt like it belonged to a kid who might be missing it, so I set it on a bench near the riverwalk hoping the owner would recognize it. If this rings a bell, know that the train is waiting on a safe spot near the Bell Tower on the APSU campus.

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.
