White Omron BP monitor with blue cuff
Description
I lost my white Omron blood pressure monitor with a blue cuff this afternoon around 2:45 pm near the Des Moines Central Library on Grand Avenue, by the north entrance where the coffee kiosk is. The unit is compact, palm-sized, with a small scratch on the screen and the blue cuff that shows a bit of wear from daily use. In the soft black carrying case there’s a red-ink label with my initials 'P.P.' that I stuck on the zipper. It’s not just a gadget - it helps me manage my dad’s medical routine, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you’ve seen it or picked it up, please message me directly. Thank you.

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.
