Found DeWalt 20V cordless drill near Boone Mall
Description
I found a DeWalt 20V cordless drill this afternoon around 2:30pm lying on the sidewalk behind the Boone Farmers Market on Blowing Rock Road. It's in a yellow-and-black plastic case, with a battery attached and a slightly worn rubber grip. The drill itself has a small dent near the chuck and a sticker that says 'Ed's Carpentry' on the case. I’m sure someone out there is missing it for a job or a project—these tools are pricey and this one looks used but solid. If you’re the owner, I’d be glad to reunite it with you. Reach me by message here or at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near that spot.

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.
