Description
I lost my blue Rawlings baseball glove yesterday around 3pm near the parking lot behind the Science Museum of Virginia on West Broad Street in Richmond, VA, close to the Altria Theater. It's a size 11.5, slightly worn, with blue leather and orange laces, and white stitching. The wrist strap has a tiny paw-print embroidery—one of the unique details that might help someone identify it. It was a gift from my coach last season and has sentimental value, so I'm really hoping it turns up. If you find it, please drop it at the front desk of the museum or message me here.

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.
