Blue Nike swim shorts, size M
Description
I lost my blue Nike swim shorts yesterday around 3pm. I was jogging along Riverside Drive by Carrier Park and must have dropped them on the path near the French Broad River, between the ballfields and the bike trail. They're a men's size M, made of quick-dry nylon, a vivid electric blue with a white Nike swoosh on the left leg, and a bright orange drawstring that still stuck out. There's a small zip pocket on the right hip and a faint chlorine stain near the hem from pool days. They were a gift from my sister, so they mean a lot to me and I really need them back so I can train for a summer triathlon. If anyone found them around downtown Asheville, email [email protected].

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.
