Blue Giro bike helmet with red interior
Description
I was out for a ride yesterday around 3pm and I think I dropped my blue Giro bike helmet somewhere along Winchester Avenue near the Safeway, by the Oak Street crossing in Roseburg. It’s a blue Giro Radix MIPS helmet, size M, with black vents and a red interior pad; there’s a small dent on the left shell from a tumble last weekend. Inside the chin strap I labeled it with a white sticker that has my initials 'PP' in Sharpie, and there’s a faint scuff on the right strap. This helmet is part of my daily cycling routine and it really matters to me to get it back—it was a gift from my cycling club and I’d be grateful to recover it. If you found it, please drop it at the Roseburg Police Department or reply to this listing so we can arrange a pickup.

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.
