Description
I lost my blue Nike running shoes with bright orange laces yesterday around 3pm near the Target on McHenry Ave in Modesto. They’re size 9 men’s, with a white and blue knit upper, and a noticeable scuff on the left toe. The left heel has a tiny blue sticker from a previous race, and the tongue is a bit frayed from daily use. They were a gift from my mom and mean a lot to me because they helped me train for a marathon. If someone found them, I’d really appreciate getting them back—these shoes feel like a piece of home when I run.

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.
