Blue DeWalt 20V drill with yellow case
Description
I was finishing up a quick shelving project yesterday around 3pm and I must have left my blue DeWalt 20V cordless drill on the workbench near the Manchester Arndale entrance off Market Street. It's a compact DCD791-style drill, blue body with a bright yellow battery and a black rubber grip, and the yellow/black case has a dent in the corner with a white sticker that reads 'AR-07'. There's a faint green painter's tape on the trigger guard. This drill means a lot to me—it was a gift from my granddad and I really need it back to finish some home repairs; if you found it, drop me a message.

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.
