LOST Power Tools near Florence, SC.
Description
I was wrapping up a small weekend project at my Florence home last Friday around 6:45 p.m. and had my power tools spread out on the garage workbench. I stepped inside for a minute to grab a nail set, and when I came back, they were gone. The drill, circular saw, and their case were missing, with a couple of batteries still on the charger. I retraced my steps along West Palmetto Street toward the Florence Civic Center parking lot, hoping maybe they’d ended up in an unexpected place. Losing them feels frustrating and personal—those tools are part of a project I’ve put a lot into, and I’d be grateful to have them back.
