Description
I found a pair of gray and black running shoes this afternoon around 2:30pm near the Holland Farmers Market on 8th Street. They’re a men's size 9, with a bright orange heel tab and a tiny blue thread stitched on the tongue. The left toe has a small scuff, and the soles show some wear, but they otherwise look decent. I left them by the bike racks near the market entrance with a friendly note in case the owner is nearby. If you’re missing a pair, tell me where you last wore them and what brand they were, and I’ll point you to them—happy to help reunite someone with their gear.

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.
