Description
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill in a black hard case with yellow trim yesterday around 3pm near the Home Depot on La Brea Ave in Los Angeles. It's a 1/2-inch drill with two batteries, and one battery shows a bit of swelling from heavy use. The case has a belt clip with my initials 'DR' scratched into it, and there's a small crack along the lid where the latch sits. I even stuck a tiny green star sticker on the top last year. This drill is my go-to for weekend projects, and it was a gift from my dad—really hoping someone turned it in.

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.
