Description
I lost my red Nike basketball shoes yesterday around 3:15pm. They're size 11, black with red accents, and the left shoe has a tiny white scuff near the toe. I was on the basketball courts behind Patterson Park, near Linwood Ave, in Baltimore, when they vanished. They were a gift from my coach and mean a lot to me — really helps me stay focused during games. One identifying feature is a small black Sharpie initial P on the inside tongue, plus a tiny red star patch stitched on the heel. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful to get them back.

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.
