Bright neon Nike running shoes, size 9
Description
I was out for a late afternoon run yesterday and realized my bright neon-green Nike running shoes, size 9, are missing. I last saw them near the Academy Sports + Outdoors on Buffalo Gap Road in Abilene around 3pm; I left them by the curb while grabbing a quick water break, and someone must have moved them. They’re in decent condition with a tiny scuff on the left toe and a small blue sticker under the tongue with my initials 'PR'—hard to miss once you know it's there. They were a gift from my sister and mean a lot to me; I really need them back for my daily workouts, especially since I’m training for a 5K.

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.
