Black JBL Flip 5 speaker found
Description
Found a black JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3:45pm in the parking lot behind the Champlain Centre mall on Woodruff Street, Plattsburgh. It's roughly the size of a soda can, cylindrical, with a rugged fabric cover and a small dent along the top edge. A red JBL badge sits on the front, and a blue fabric strap is attached to the carry handle. There's a small sticker on the bottom with the initials 'A.R.' and a blue micro-USB cable tucked underneath. If this is yours, tell me the initials on the sticker and the model name and I’ll verify before we arrange a return.

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.
