Description
I realized my shoes were gone after a jog along the Ohio River at Fort Boreman Park around 6:20 p.m. this past Tuesday. I had kicked them off to cool down and left them by the bike rack near Market Street, then I went to grab a quick coffee, and when I came back they were nowhere to be found. They're gray sneakers with a bright blue stripe and a small dent in the left toe—the kind I wear every day to and from work. I’m feeling worried and a little foolish, like I’m missing a small piece of my routine.

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.
