Description
On Friday around 6:30 p.m., I realized my Equipment for Various Sports bag had vanished from Memorial Park in Northwest OK, Oklahoma, United States. It’s a black duffel with a white stripe, stuffed with Equipment for Various Sports: a worn basketball, a football helmet, two tennis rackets, and a tangle of shin guards. I had set it by the bleachers after a quick evening run and a short practice with the kids. I felt my heart drop when I noticed it missing, and I kept replaying every minute in my head, hoping someone found it and kept it safe.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.

Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.

- 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
