Lost utensils in Huntington area
Description
Last night around 9:15 p.m., I realized my set of utensils had vanished from the drawer in my Huntington apartment near Pullman Square. The wooden spoon with a nick in the handle, a blue silicone spatula, and a creased metal whisk were in there just an hour earlier; I remember washing them after dinner and then drifting off while the TV hummed in the background. I keep imagining them sitting on the kitchen counter by the window that looks toward the river, waiting to come home. I’m hoping someone found them and tucked them away somewhere safe — I could really use them again for a quick meal after work.

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.
