Small silver USB drive with red cap
Description
I lost my small silver USB drive, a SanDisk 16GB, yesterday around 3pm near the Central Library on South Avenue in Rochester. It's about the size of my pinky, has a bright red cap, and the edge bears a tiny circular sticker that reads 'Family' with a little heart. The drive holds scans of old family photos that aren’t backed up anywhere else, so it’s sentimental for me and I’d really love to get it back. It might look a bit scratched along the edge, and the cap has a tiny nick—if you found something matching this description, please drop me an email at [email protected]. Thanks for helping—it's listed in the Other Miscellaneous Items category.

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.
