DeWalt 20V cordless drill, yellow/black
Description
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill this yesterday around 3pm. It’s a compact, yellow-and-black model with a gray chuck, about 7 inches long, and it’s in decent condition with a few scuffs from on-site work. There’s a small dent on the left side near the chuck and blue painter’s tape with my initials 'AP' on the battery to mark it. I last had it in the parking lot behind the Ace Hardware on Main Street in Auburn, Gold Country, after helping my neighbor with a fence project. It really matters to me for upcoming home repairs, and it carries sentimental value because I inherited similar tools from my dad. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back!

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.
