Lost microwaves in Houston, TX
Description
Last Tuesday around 8:15 p.m., I was unloading two microwaves into my apartment on Westheimer Road, near Kirby Drive, in Houston's Montrose area. They were sitting on the kitchen counter when I turned to grab a bag, and in a heartbeat they vanished. I’ve checked the building's hallways, the leasing office, and walked the nearby blocks—Westheimer, Montrose Boulevard, and the parking garages—with no sign. I’m wiped after long shifts, and I rely on those appliances for meals and for meds that require heating. If you’ve seen them, please report through the site so I can reclaim them.

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.
