Blue Yeti USB mic with blue windscreen
Description
I lost my Blue Yeti USB microphone yesterday around 3pm. It was sitting on my desk in my Blacksburg apartment, near the CVS on College Avenue here in the New River Valley. The mic is black with a blue foam windscreen and sits on a small black tripod stand; there’s a 6-foot USB cable coiled around the base and a tiny dent on the top-left edge. There’s also a faint coffee-ring stain on the windscreen from late-night sessions. It’s part of my home setup for a hobby podcast, so it feels really sentimental to lose it. If anyone found it, please reach out — I’d be forever grateful to get it back.

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.
