Description
I lost my blue rescue inhaler yesterday around 3pm near the North Market on High Street, downtown Columbus. It’s a small Albuterol inhaler with a blue body and a bright red cap, and there’s a tiny dent at the bottom edge. I also stuck a small sticker with my initials 'PP' on the side, so it’s easy to spot if someone handles it. I rely on this inhaler daily to keep my asthma under control, and it feels risky to be without it. If anyone found it, please reach out—this item has saved me more than once, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

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.
