Description
I found a pair of gray Nike running shoes with a lime-green swoosh, size 9, yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Charleston City Market on Meeting Street. They're in decent used condition, with light dirt on the soles and a small scuff on the toe. One tongue tag has the initials 'A.J.' scratched inside, which might help identify the owner. They were tucked under a bench near the bike racks by the Market entrance, not far from the Charleston Visitor Center. If the owner sees this, I’d love to reunite them—happy to bring them to the Market or arrange a meetup.

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.
