Lost toasters in Akron / Canton area.
Description
On Tuesday at 6:30 PM, after helping a friend move in Canton, I realized the pair of toasters I was loading into the car were missing from the kitchen counter of the Canton apartment near the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They’re stainless steel with black knobs, a small dent on the left corner from a long-ago drop. They remind me of weekend breakfasts with my grandmother back in Akron, and losing them feels like losing a link to family mornings. I’m hoping someone in the Akron/Canton area picked them up and kept them safe. If you spotted two toasters around Canton, please hold onto them until I can pick them up.

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.
