Description
I lost my work cases this morning around 11:30 AM along the Oregon Coast, near the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse in Newport. They’re two rugged black leather cases, scuffed from daily use, with work documents inside and a foam-lined interior. I walked the marina boardwalk and past the lighthouse, checking the tide pools and benches, but the wind and gulls kept swallowing clues. These cases carry my portable tools for site visits and blueprints for upcoming projects, so I’m anxious about losing them. If anyone picked them up, I hope they’re somewhere safe until I can get them back.

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.
