Lost sports equipment near Buffalo Park, Flagstaff
Description
I lost my equipment for various sports somewhere around Flagstaff, and I’m hoping a kind soul picked it up. I last had it around 7:15 p.m. on Friday near Buffalo Park after a casual pick-up game. The bag is a black duffel with a red stripe, and inside you’ll find soccer cleats, a tennis racket, ankle braces, and a few mouthguards. This stuff is how I stay active and pay for practice, so losing it felt personal and stressful. If you happened to see it or came across a stray bag on the path, please keep it safe—I'm counting on the goodwill of folks in Flagstaff / Sedona, Arizona, United States.

Meet in a safe, public place

Bring someone with you

- 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
