Description
I found this basketball this afternoon around 1:40pm, sitting on the sidewalk by the Bricktown Canal near the 2nd Street Bridge in Oklahoma City. It's a standard 29.5-inch Spalding NBA basketball, bright orange with black seams, and a few light scrapes from street use. There’s a small green star sticker on one panel and the initials 'CW' lightly carved on another panel. It seems to be in decent shape, though slightly deflated. If this is your ball, tell me the sticker details or the approximate size to verify and I’ll hand it over.

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.
