Found a toaster set.
Description
On Saturday at 6:15 PM, after a short hike near Kent Falls State Park in Northwestern CT, I found a tote tucked behind a bench along a service road. Inside were two shiny toasters, their cords in a loose knot and a plastic bag with the brand tag still attached. There wasn’t a name or a label, just the gleam of chrome. I felt surprised and a little relieved at the same time—someone must be missing these. I placed the tote on a bench where other hikers wait for rides, in plain sight for a quick glance from the nearby parking lot. I hope the owner sees this listing and recognizes them quickly.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
