Lost gym clothes near the Dauphin Street YMCA.
Description
I was finishing a 6:45 p.m. spin class at the Midtown Mobile YMCA on Dauphin Street when I realized my gym clothes weren’t in my locker anymore. The items include a gray zip-up hoodie and black leggings with a blue stripe, tucked in a navy gym bag. I retraced my steps through the lobby and into the locker area, but the room was crowded and someone could have slipped away with them. These clothes are essential for practice this week, and I’m hoping they’ll turn up at the lost-and-found or with a kind passerby. It’s a stressful moment, but I’m staying hopeful they’ll be returned to the right owner.

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.
