Lost: Equipment for Various Sports in Sandusky
Description
On Monday around 6:15 p.m., after a quick practice at Riley Park along Sandusky Bay, I realized my Equipment for Various Sports backpack was missing. I jogged back toward the benches by the baseball field and checked the nearby pathway, but it wasn’t there. The bag holds my bright blue practice jerseys, a pair of well-worn shin guards, and a water bottle with a faded team logo. Losing it before this weekend’s league games has me stressed and a little defeated, but I’m hopeful it will be found. If you’ve seen something that matches, it would mean a lot to return it to its owner.

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.
