Cordless DeWalt drill in yellow case
Description
I found a cordless drill set this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Lansing City Market on Michigan Ave. It's a DeWalt 20V Max drill in a yellow-and-black hard case, about the size of a lunchbox with a sturdy plastic handle. Inside are two batteries and a charger tucked in the lid, plus a small bit kit. The case has a tiny dent on the lower corner and a faded sticker that reads 'Project Alpha' on the front. It looks well-used but seems to be in good working order. If this belongs to you, I’d love to get it back—happy to meet near the Market or drop it off at a local hardware store for pickup.

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.
