Black DeWalt 20V drill in yellow case
Description
I lost my black DeWalt 20V cordless drill yesterday around 3pm. It was in a yellow DeWalt hard case with a small red fox sticker on the lid and a slightly bent belt clip. I had left it in the trunk area of my pickup after loading cabinet screws at the Home Depot parking lot off Central Ave in Billings, MT, Eastern Montana. The drill is compact, model DCD771, with a blue 'AF' initials sticker on the bottom corner and the 20V XR battery attached. It's the main tool I rely on for daily contractor work, and losing it is stressing me out. If anyone saw it or picked it up, please message me here and I’ll arrange a pickup in Billings as soon as possible.

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.
