Description
I lost my red Garmin Forerunner watch with a black silicone band yesterday around 3pm near the Ithaca Commons on State Street, outside the Starbucks. It's a Garmin Forerunner 235, with a bright red bezel and a small scratch on the top-right corner; the back has a white sticker with the initials 'AP' that I forgot to remove. The watch is in decent shape, but the band is stretched from daily runs, and I rely on it for pacing during training. If you found it, I'd really appreciate returning it to the Lost and Found at the Commons or sending me a message here.

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.
