Description
I found a blue University student ID card this afternoon around 3:20 pm outside the Michigan Union on State Street in Ann Arbor. It's a standard glossy plastic card, about the size of a credit card, with a photo of a student wearing a red hoodie and a light blue lanyard with a small silver star charm. The name on the card reads "Priya Patel" and the back has a faint coffee stain near the magnetic stripe. There's a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner, visible when you tilt it. If this looks like yours or you know the owner, please reach out—I'm hoping to get it back to you.

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.
