Description
On Friday at 6:30 PM, I realized my equipment for various sports was missing after I left the food court and walked toward the east entrance of the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, just outside Dayton. The bag was a bright yellow duffel stuffed with a soccer ball, a basketball, and a pair of worn cleats, plus a few jerseys I use for weekend rec leagues. This kit carries memories from last season and the moments I scraped by in tough games. I’m hoping a kind person who found it will see this and help me get it back 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.
