DeWalt 20V cordless drill (DCD771) lost
Description
I lost my DeWalt 20V cordless drill (DCD771), the yellow-and-black one I use almost every day. It’s a compact drill with a slightly worn rubber grip and a small dent near the chuck. I had it yesterday around 3pm after finishing a quick bike repair, and when I went to grab it, it was gone. Last I remembered seeing it was behind the Dollar Tree on Main Street in Yreka, near the entrance to the shopping plaza. It’s not just a tool; it was a gift from my grandfather and has sentimental value. I really need it back for ongoing repairs this week, so any info would mean a lot. There’s blue painter’s tape with my initials on the battery as a distinguishing mark.

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.
