Found red toolbox with tools near Savannah Civic Center
Description
Found a red 18-inch toolbox with tools this afternoon around 2:30pm in the parking lot behind the Savannah Civic Center on Oglethorpe Ave. It's a Craftsman toolbox, red with chipped paint exposing metal underneath, and the lid has two metal latches. Inside there are a handful of screwdrivers, pliers, a yellow measuring tape, and a rusty adjustable wrench. The handle shows wear and there’s a small sticker with the initials 'JR' on the inside of the lid. I picked it up because it looked like someone might be missing it. If this is yours, tell me one item inside or the initials on the lid and we can arrange a quick meet-up for you to claim it.

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.
