Black and yellow toolbox with Dewalt drill
Description
I found a black and yellow plastic toolbox this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Home Depot on Peters Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem. The lid has a chunky yellow latch and a few scuffs from DIY projects, and there’s a sticker that reads 'Vox Builders Co.' Inside, a Dewalt 20V cordless drill sits with a cracked grip, plus about a half-dozen drill bits in a clear holder. The drill's blue battery is loose and there’s a small red tape with the initials 'EM' on the battery. It looks used but solid, and I’d like to help get it back to its owner—if you’re missing it, drop a message here and we can arrange a pickup nearby.

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.
