Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my handheld radio was missing after leaving the parking lot behind the Walmart on 8th Street in Brainerd. It's a compact Uniden handheld radio, black with an orange silicone protective case and a blue antenna cap. The screen is cracked and there’s a small silver badge on the top edge. It was a gift from my grandfather and it has real sentimental value; I really need it back for work calls and emergencies. If anyone found it, please reach out—I can describe the dent on the corner and the orange case details to verify it's mine.

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.
