Lost microwaves in Tulsa
Description
On Tuesday at about 6:45 PM I was finishing supper in my apartment near Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa when I realized I left two microwaves on the kitchen counter. By the time I got back to the unit on East 11th Street, they were gone. I felt a sinking knot in my chest because one is a newer, energy-saving model and the other is an older dented classic I rely on after late shifts. They mean a lot to me for quick meals and for comforting late-night routines. If you remember seeing two microwaves in the building's shared kitchen near the elevators by the mailroom, please keep an eye out; I’m hoping they were simply moved and can be returned.

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.
