Red contact lens case with L/R marks
Description
I lost my red contact lens case yesterday around 3pm outside the Alaska Airlines Center on Providence Drive, near the UAA campus. It's a small red hard-plastic case with a white lid, a bit scratched, and I wrote 'L' and 'R' on the inside with a Sharpie. There's one blue daily disposable lens inside with a drop of solution around the edges; I wouldn't want to use a found lens. The case has a tiny panda sticker on the bottom and a faint coffee stain on the lid from yesterday. It’s part of my daily routine and I’m really hoping someone picked it up for me—it's something I rely on every day.

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, 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.
