Description
Hi, I'm Aaron Bryant. I realized around 6:15 p.m. yesterday that my hand tools were missing. They were in a black tool bag with a yellow tape measure and a dented hammer, left on the tailgate of my pickup after I helped a neighbor at the Fort Smith Farmers Market on Garrison Ave. The market had cleared out, and I've been retracing steps, hoping they weren't taken. Those tools are essentials for home repairs, and I'm anxious to get them back in the shed where they belong.

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.
