1TB black external hard drive with purple star
Description
I lost my 1TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim external hard drive yesterday around 3pm. It's black with a matte finish and has a small dent along the top edge, plus a tiny purple star sticker on the back. My name is written in blue Sharpie under the sticker. I last had it in a gray neoprene sleeve while I was sitting at the Concho Riverwalk behind Fort Concho, near the intersection of 2nd Street and Beauregard Avenue in San Angelo. It holds years of travel photos and personal videos—it's sentimental to me, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please contact me so I can verify the files and 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.
