Description
I left my Nintendo Switch OLED in its gray padded carrying case yesterday around 3pm near the Church Street Marketplace in Burlington, VT, after grabbing a coffee. It's the neon red/blue Joy-Cons model, and the case has a small yellow penguin sticker on the front. A couple of distinguishing marks: there's a tiny scratch along the top edge of the dock, and the right Joy-Con has a blue silicone grip. This device has sentimental value—it was a birthday gift from my sister—and 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.
