DeWalt cordless drill with yellow grip
Description
I lost my DeWalt cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Guildhall on Winchester High Street. It's a 20V Max drill, yellow and black, with a worn rubber grip and a small chip on the chuck from a fall while I was mounting shelves. It lives in a black and yellow hard-case with a red speed setting sticker on the lid and a magnetized bit holder that sticks to the case. It belonged to my dad, and it’s really important for my home repairs, so I’d be grateful to get it back. If you found it around the Market Square, St. George's Street, or near the Winchester Library, please message me.

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.
