Red Craftsman toolbox with drill and bits
Description
Hey there, I lost my red Craftsman toolbox yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Ace Hardware on Main Street in Bismarck. It's a rectangular metal box about 14 inches long, red with a black latch, a bit dented on the lower-right corner. Inside you’ll find a Craftsman cordless drill in good condition, two batteries, a small bit set, and a yellow tape measure sticking out. The inside lid has a faded sticker with my initials 'PP' and a coffee ring from my coffee spill last week. This box is my go-to for home repairs and it really means a lot to me because it contains the only drill I use for work. If anyone happened to spot it, please reach out—I'm really hoping to get it 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.
