Found Ryobi cordless drill near Home Depot
Description
I found a Ryobi cordless drill in a black-and-orange case this afternoon around 2:30pm in the parking lot behind the Home Depot on Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe. The drill is in good working condition, with a slightly worn rubber grip and a few scratches on the chuck. The case has an old sticker that reads Property of Smith and there are two drill bits tucked into the built-in bit holder. I'm leaving it where I found it but I can bring it to the customer service desk if you can verify the model and the initials on the sticker. If this sounds like yours, drop me a message in the app with the model details and we will work out the next steps.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
