Blue inhaler case with red clip
Description
I lost my blue inhaler case yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Main Street in Elmira, NY. It's a small nylon pouch, about the size of a credit card, in a faded royal blue color with a bright red plastic carabiner clip. Inside is my albuterol inhaler and a second, spare inhaler labeled 'Rescue' in black marker; the case has a tiny green star sticker on the front and a faint smell of peppermint. This item is essential for my daily breathing, and it has sentimental value because it belonged to my late grandmother who reminded me to carry it. If anyone found it, please contact me—I really need 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.
