Description
I lost my blue 16GB SanDisk USB-C flash drive yesterday around 3pm. It's in a black silicone case, with a mint-green pineapple sticker on the back and a tiny scratch along the top edge. I was wandering around Copley Square in Boston, near the Boston Public Library and the Prudential Center, after ducking into a cafe on Boylston Street for a quick charge. The drive holds a draft for my upcoming thesis and some old family photos, so it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] with any details. Thanks!

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.
