Description
This afternoon at 3:45 p.m., I headed to the Heartland Home Depot parking lot off US-27 to pick up a few supplies for a porch project, and somehow my power tools never made it back into the truck. It’s a DeWalt drill and a circular saw, both with orange handles and a well-worn tool belt. I’ve been rushing to finish the porch before date night, and those tools are part of the plan; it feels like a small setback that’s growing into a bigger headache. If you’ve seen a gray toolbox with a red drill or a saw with a chipped handle around the plaza, please think of me.

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.
