Lost microwaves in Fort Collins, CO
Description
Hi, I’m Avery Kim. I realized two microwaves were missing around 6:30 p.m. today after unloading groceries at Old Town Fort Collins and heading toward Linden Street near the CSU campus gate in Colorado. One is a white countertop unit with a cracked door; the other is a brushed stainless model with a dent on the handle. They’re important to my family because of some handwritten recipe notes tucked inside. I walked the route from Old Town Square along College Avenue toward the river trail behind Hollister Field, hoping to spot them, but no luck. If found, they’d likely be near the Old Town market area or by the CSU bus stop.

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.
