Blue Nike running shorts with white trim
Description
I lost my royal blue Nike running shorts, size M, with white piping and a small reflective swoosh on the left leg. I was out for a run yesterday around 3pm and I must have dropped them near Capitol Square on State Street in Madison. The fabric is a bit faded from training, with a tiny snag on the back pocket and a faint sweat stain at the waistband. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister and I wear them most days for long runs - really hoping someone picked them up and can return them. If you found them, I’d be grateful to reunite them with me; I can meet near the Madison Public Library or around Capitol grounds.

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.
