Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons
Description
I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm. It's the 7-inch model in a black padded carry case, with neon red/blue Joy-Cons and a screen protector that has a tiny scratch on the lower bezel. I slapped a Mario sticker on the front for fun and left the case a bit worn from daily use. I think I left it in the parking lot behind the Hulman Center on 7th Street in Terre Haute after grabbing coffee at the campus cafe. This device is pretty sentimental to me—it's how I unwind after long shifts and it reminds me of a good friend who got it for me. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting 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.
