Found DeWalt 20V cordless drill
Description
I was out running errands this morning around 7:15 am and spotted a DeWalt 20V cordless drill sitting on the ground in the parking lot behind the Home Depot on North Dixie Drive, Dayton. The drill is yellow and black, with a slightly scuffed plastic case and a two-battery setup—one battery says 20V MAX, the other looks like a spare. There’s a small red sticker with the initials 'A.R.' on the battery, which helped me spot it from across the parking lot. It appears to be in good working condition, just dusty from the rain yesterday. If the owner recognizes it, I’ll be happy to meet somewhere convenient to return it.

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.
