Blue glucose meter with case, lost near Ithaca Commons
Description
Hey there, I lost my blue OneTouch Verio Flex glucose meter with a white protective case yesterday around 3pm. It's a compact device about the size of a deck of cards, navy blue body with a tiny crack along the top edge and a black silicone sleeve. There's a small green heart sticker on the back with the name 'Sam' written in black marker. It was last seen outside the Ithaca Commons by State Street, near the entrance to the Tasting Room, after I stopped for coffee. I rely on this meter every day to manage my blood sugar, and it feels essential - I'd be grateful to get it back 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.
