Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons found
Description
I found a Nintendo Switch OLED model this afternoon around 3pm, lying on the sidewalk near the fountain outside the Prudential Center on Boylston Street in Back Bay. It's in decent shape, with neon blue and neon red Joy-Cons and a blue silicone sleeve that has a small white star sticker on the back. The screen protector has a tiny scratch in the top-right corner, and the device came with a black carrying case that's a bit worn around the zipper. I know someone must be missing it—it's clearly cherished by a gamer and probably has sentimental value. If you recognize this setup, please reach out so I can get it back to its owner.

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.
