Description
On Tuesday evening, around 7:25 PM, I was cleaning up after dinner in my apartment near the OSU Library, just off the campus quad, when I realized my toaster was missing. It’s a small two-slot stainless model I’ve used every morning for years, and it’s hard to replace on a student budget. I left the kitchen to grab towels from the laundry room, and in that quick moment it must have disappeared. I’m really hoping someone found it and tucked it somewhere safe—it’s not just a gadget, it’s part of my morning routine that helps me get through class.

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.
