Cordless drill with yellow Makita, two batteries
Description
I am hoping to recover my cordless drill I lost yesterday around 4pm near the Jackson Public Library on Main Street. It is a yellow Makita 18V cordless drill, a Tools & Hardware staple for my home projects, with a black grippy handle that has a small dent and a red sticker with the initials MP on the battery. It came with two batteries, and one of them has a cracked casing. The drill lives in a slightly scuffed hard case with a blue duct-tape repair along the zipper. It has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandfather, and I really need it back to finish a home project. If anyone stumbled upon it, please message me, thank you so much.

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.
