Lost drones near downtown Cleveland
Description
I’m Jordan Reed. On Saturday at about 6:20 PM, I was filming a sunset clip near East 4th Street in downtown Cleveland when the wind whipped my bag from my hands and the drones slipped away. I own two drones—one black with a cracked camera, and a compact silver model—and both disappeared into the windy gaps between buildings. I retraced the plaza around Terminal Tower and the alleys along West 6th Street, but they didn’t turn up. The night air feels colder knowing the equipment is out there somewhere, and I’d give anything to have them back in time for a family video we’ve been planning.

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.
