Small black Anker Bluetooth speaker with red paw sticker
Description
I found a small black Anker Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Topeka Public Library on Kansas Ave, tucked between the bike racks near the main entrance. It's palm-sized, solid plastic, with a worn bottom from being set down on concrete. The front has a bright red paw sticker and there’s a faint 'Anker Soundcore Mini' imprint on the back. The speaker is in decent condition but the charging port cover is a tad loose. If this belongs to someone, I can meet near the library to hand it back and get your details. Hope to get this back to its owner—someone probably misses 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.
