Black JBL Charge 5 speaker with orange clip
Description
I found a black JBL Charge 5 portable Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Youngstown Public Library on Wick Avenue. It’s about the size of a soda can, with a bright orange silicone clip attached to the side and a few light scratches on the fabric grille. The bottom has a small white sticker with the model printed on it, and there’s a tiny dent along the top edge from a likely tumble outside. It powers on and connected to my phone when I tested it, so it seems in decent working order. If this is yours, I’ve left it near the library entrance behind the bike racks—hope to return it soon.

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.
