Last weekend the family and I spent a couple days in Destin, FL. I went on a solo trip to the grocery off the insane US-Hwy 98. As I was leaving the parking lot to turn onto 98 I noticed a multi-tool laying on the ground directly in front of me. It was about two feet off the highway.
Figuring I'd save it from it's inevitable death on Hwy 98 I hopped out and snatched it up. I noticed it was a Gerber but I was blocking in a soccer mom that was clearly late for her appointment to save the world. I mindlessly tossed it in the back and moved on. I completely forgot about it until this morning and dug it out.
I noticed it had some odd tools and features so I turned to Google to ID its function. Turns out this multi-tool is specifically designed for combat engineers working with explosives. It is also one of Gerber's more expensive multi-tools.
I immediately realized that some service member forked out his hard-earned cash to buy this so he can do his job while serving our country. If at all possible I'd like to find its owner and return it. Unfortunately I have no clue how/where to start.
It has a little road-rash but is in overall great condition. Clearly it was not out there for long. It is definitely worth returning.
All I have to go on is that it was lost in Destin. Considering how many bases are in the area, I assume it belongs to someone stationed there. I have been impressed by the detective work by many of the BS members here so I'm looking for a little direction.
If I can't find it's owner I'd like to offer it up to any combat engineers on this forum.
Thanks!
