Black wireless earbuds in charging case with red sticker
Description
Found a pair of black wireless earbuds in a charging case this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Gallo Center for the Arts on I Street in downtown Modesto. The earbuds are matte black, and one has a tiny dent near the charging contact; the case lid has a small scratch and a red sticker with initials 'AP' on the back. They look fairly new and work when tested; I figured someone must be missing them from their daily routine. If these are yours, DM me and we can arrange a time to swap. I know how annoying it is to misplace something you rely on every day, and I’d be happy to help get them back to you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
