Gray Nike running shoes found near Inner Harbor
Description
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes this afternoon around 4pm behind the Maryland Science Center at the Inner Harbor, along the promenade near the Rusty Scupper's entrance. They’re men’s size 9, in decent shape with a few scuffs on the toe and a neon lime-green swoosh that makes them easy to spot. One shoe has a small coffee stain on the inner heel, and the laces are a bit frayed from daily use. I figured someone might be missing them, so I’m posting here in case the owner recognizes the colors and that little badge on the tongue. If these are yours, tell me the exact shade of gray, the coffee stain detail, and your shoe size so we can arrange a meetup nearby Power Plant Live or the Inner Harbor.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
