Description
Hey there, I was tackling a weekend project when the weather turned. Around 6:48 p.m. last Friday, I realized my hand tools were missing from the pegboard above my workbench in the shed behind my old log cabin near Hawks Nest State Park. The set includes a hammer, pliers, a rusty adjustable wrench, and a dented blue toolbox—tools I’ve used for years and hate to lose. I’m scrambling to finish a job and could really use them back where they belong, especially before another storm rolls in.

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.
