Description
I was hiking along Cannon Beach around 7:15 PM last Saturday when my small hand-tool pouch slipped from my belt. Inside were a hammer, a tape measure, and a couple of screwdrivers—nothing fancy, but everything I rely on for small repairs around the house. The wind whipped off the Pacific near Haystack Rock, and the light was fading as the tide rolled in. I’m hoping someone picked up the pouch near the tide pools by the seawall and handed it in at the visitor center; those tools carry memories of weekend projects for neighbors and friends.

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.
