Black 1TB WD external hard drive with blue KB sticker
Description
Hey, I lost my black 1TB Western Digital My Passport external hard drive yesterday around 3pm. I had it on a bench outside The Lighthouse Café on Oceanview Street near the South Coast Boardwalk after editing video clips on my laptop. The drive is in a slightly scuffed aluminum case, with a tiny dent in the lower-left corner and a faded blue sticker with the initials 'KB' drawn in a doodle. There’s a white label on the back with the serial ending in XG1234. It holds all my family videos and some freelance work, so it means a lot to me. If you found it, please message me here—I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

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.
