Orange DeWalt 20V cordless drill with initials AY
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my orange DeWalt 20V cordless drill wasn't in my bag after waiting for the tram at Market Street by the Victoria Centre in Nottingham. It's a DCD771, with a yellow battery, and a small red sticker with my initials 'AY' on the grip; the chuck has a little dent from a drop. This drill gets heavy use in my DIY projects at home, and it's really the go-to tool I rely on, plus it's a gift from my mum, so it means a lot to me. If anyone found it, drop it off at the Nottingham City Council Lost and Found near Old Market Square, I’d really appreciate it.

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.
