Description
I'm writing because I left my USB drives somewhere around the Scotts Bluff National Monument and I'm hoping for their return. I was in the monument parking area around 4:15 PM last Friday when I realized they were missing from my backpack. The drives are in a small black case with a teal USB cable sticking out and a label that says 'Work'. I retraced my steps toward the Scottsbluff Public Library, but I didn't see them. The files inside matter for a work project, and I'm anxious about delays and lost data. If anyone found them, please keep them safe until I can reclaim them.

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.
