Description
I lost my grey Dell XPS 13 laptop yesterday around 3pm outside Destiny USA in Syracuse, on Clinton Street near the parking garage entrance. It's a 13-inch aluminum body, silver-grey with a black keyboard, and it sits in a blue silicone sleeve. There's a red star-shaped sticker on the palm rest and a tiny crack in the bottom-right corner of the screen protector. The charger cable is braided blue and the lid has a few light scratches. It was a gift from my mom, so it means a lot to get it back—I'll be forever grateful if someone finds it.

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.
