Black Seagate 2TB external hard drive
Description
I found a black Seagate 2TB external hard drive this morning around 10:15am in the parking lot behind the Martinsburg Public Library on West King Street. It's in a matte shell with a blue sticker on the top edge and the initials 'DW' scratched into the label. The USB-C cable is still wrapped around the connector, and there's a small dent on the bottom-right corner from being bumped around in a bag. It looks like someone uses it for photos and backups, and I know how stressful it is to lose a drive full of files. If this is yours, describe the initials on the sticker and the cable color to claim 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.
