Black 7' Shimano graphite rod with red reel

Wyoming Lost listing Posted 27 days ago

Description

I lost my black 7' Shimano graphite fishing rod with a red spinning reel yesterday around 3pm near the Buffalo Bill Center of the West parking lot on Sheridan Ave in Cody, WY. The rod has blue painter's tape with the initials 'KP' on the grip and a small dent on the reel hood. It was my late grandfather's rod, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please message me here or email [email protected]; I'll know it by the taped initials and the slightly faded red reel. Thank you for helping.

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, cafĂ© 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.
