Black DeWalt 20V cordless drill, case included
Description
I lost my black DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm. It's in a black hard-shell case with a yellow and black drill peeking out. The drill is a few years old but still reliable; there’s a small dent on the top corner of the case and a red scratch along the battery housing. The battery is a 20V MAX XR with a blue label—worth noting because the numbers can rub off. I had it with me near the Illini Union on Green Street in Champaign-Urbana, and I must have dropped it somewhere between the library entrance and the campus bike racks. It’s my go-to tool for weekend projects, and I really need it back. This item means a lot to me professionally and personally, and I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe.

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.
