After having lost and having found many items at NW, I thought it may be a good idea to make a Lost & Found Thread.
Just post the Item with a bold header "MISSING", a brief description, and even the general vicinity of where you may have lost it. Also post which AO you lost it in.
EXAMPLE:
MISSING: NWOPsite
Grenade, Black. w/orange streamer.
Lost near the staging area.
If you found something, first look at recently lost items, if it isn't posted as "MISSING" then post it with a header "FOUND"
Do not give a description of the item until someone claims it. If they describe it well, then you may hand it off to them soon.
EXAMPLE:
FOUND:
M4 MAG
In Wash
I will make the first post for a missing item. You can use it as an example
