LOST gym clothes in Rhode Island
Description
After a 6:30 PM workout at the Providence YMCA on Westminster Street, I realized my gym bag with clothes was gone. In the bag were a gray hoodie, a white T shirt with a small green logo, black leggings with a pink stripe, and a pair of old blue sneakers. I rely on that spare set for the drive home, and now I feel off balance without them. I retraced the hallway from the front desk to the locker rooms, asking the staff at the lost and found about a stray bag, but there was no luck. I am hopeful that someone picked up the bag and turned it in, and that I will be reunited with my things soon.

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.
