Blue Diamondback mountain bike with neon accents
Description
Yesterday around 3pm, I rode through Riverside Park and must have left my bike by the bike racks near the Williams Street entrance. It's a blue Diamondback mountain bike, 24-inch frame, with a white front fork and neon-green accents. The bike has a few light scratches on the top tube from a fall last month, and the left pedal is a bit cracked, but the tires still grip well. On the handlebars I fastened a yellow zip-tie with a small red LED light, which is pretty distinctive. This bike meant a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister—and I’m really hoping it’s turned in soon; if anyone sees it, please reach out. I’ll come pick it up as soon as I can.

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.
