White glucometer kit with blue paw sticker
Description
I found a white digital glucometer kit this afternoon around 2:30pm outside the CVS on Jericho Turnpike in Mineola, Long Island. It’s in a small white zip case with a blue paw-print sticker on the front and a few test strips peeking out from the side pocket. The meter inside is a compact white device with a black screen, and there’s a blue lanyard attached to the zipper pull. Inside are a couple of test strips and a small lancing device—clearly used but still functional. I know how important something like this can be for someone who manages diabetes, and I’d love to get it back to its owner. If you recognize this, reply here and we can figure out a safe meet-up near the CVS.

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.
