Blue glucose meter in blue case with lime lining
Description
I dropped my glucose meter yesterday around 3pm near the Riverside Park entrance off Jay Street in La Crosse. It's an Accu-Chek glucose meter tucked into a dark blue hard case, about the size of a small phone, with a lime-green interior and a tiny paw-print sticker on the front. I keep a few test strips in a clear sleeve inside, and there’s a faint dent on the bottom corner from a drop. This device is essential for my daily diabetes management, and it feels really personal to me—my mom gave me the case as a gift years ago. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate getting 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.
