Gray JBL Flip 5 speaker found near Old Market
Description
I found a gray JBL Flip 5 speaker (category: Miscellaneous Electronics) this afternoon around 3:15pm on the sidewalk outside the Old Market, along 12th Street between Howard and Grand in downtown Omaha. It's in decent shape with a few light scratches and a red sticker on the back that reads KC—hard to miss. The charging-port silicone cover is missing and the top buttons feel a little sticky, but it powers up and connects to my phone—felt right to try to reunite it with its owner. I figured a local owner would want it back, so I'm hoping to locate you. If it belongs to you, email [email protected] and we can arrange a safe pickup.

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.
