Description
I was finishing up a small job and loading my truck when I realized my power tools were missing. It was 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, outside Destin Commons, in Destin, Florida. The tools sat in a yellow contractor bag—drill, circular saw, and a handful of bits I’d bought myself after months of saving. Losing them felt personal, like losing a part of my ability to fix things around the house. Since then I’ve walked the lot, checked the parking ramps, and even asked the coffee stand clerk if they’d seen a bag. If they’re returned, I’ll be grateful beyond words.

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.
