Description
I lost my red Nike running shoes, size 9, yesterday around 3pm outside the Safeway on East Main Street in Medford. They're low-cut, bright red with a white Nike swoosh, and they're a little scuffed from rain-soaked runs. The toe has a tiny scuff, and one lace is a touch longer than the other so they’re easy to tell apart. Inside the heel there's a small black duct-tape patch I added for grip after a muddy trail run. They were a gift from my sister, so they’re sentimental to me and I’d really appreciate getting them back if someone happened to spot them.

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.
