Description
I lost two stainless-steel toasters last Sunday around 7:15 pm from the kitchen of my beach rental in Kitty Hawk, near the Wright Brothers National Memorial. I was cleaning up after a long day on the dunes when I realized the spot where they sat on the counter was empty. They’re special to me—gifted by my grandmother—and one has a tiny dent and the other a blue dial. I’m hoping they were just misplaced or picked up by mistake, not tossed in someone’s trash bag. Any help would be appreciated.

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.
