Blue Nike running shorts with neon orange trim
Description
Found a pair of blue Nike running shorts this afternoon around 3:15pm near the OSU Student Recreation Center on 26th Street in Corvallis. They're navy with a neon orange drawstring, size L, and a small zip pocket inside the waistband; there’s a white Nike swoosh on the left leg. The inside lining shows a bit of wear and a faint coffee stain near the pocket, plus an embroidered 'RC' on the waistband as a distinctive tag. I left them on a bench by the Rec Center entrance for a bit, but didn't see anyone claim them, so I’m putting them here in case the owner sees this. If these are yours, message me with something that proves you own them (e.g., the drawstring color or the sizing tag) and we’ll arrange a pickup.

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.
