DeWalt 20V cordless drill, yellow/black
Description
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm in Charlottesville. It's the yellow and black model, with a slightly cracked housing near the chuck and blue painter's tape with my initials 'PP' on the battery. It came in a small black hard case, with a dent on the left side of the housing. I last had it around the Downtown Mall area near Court Square, between Main Street and Water Street, by the CVS storefront. It’s my go-to drill for weekend projects, and I really need it back—it's the main tool I use for work. If anyone finds it, please text me; I can swing by to pick it up and show ID.

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.
