Athens Tech ID card on blue lanyard
Description
I lost my Athens Tech University ID card yesterday around 3pm. It’s a slim blue plastic card with my photo on the left and my name, Elena Papadopoulos, at the bottom. The lanyard is bright blue with the Athens Tech logo, and there are two identifying marks: a tiny coffee ring on the back edge and a small star sticker near the lower corner. I think it slipped from my pocket while I was walking from the Acropolis Museum entrance along Dionysiou Areopagitou toward Syntagma in Athens. I really need it back for campus access and it feels sentimental. If found, please drop it at the central Lost & Found desk in Syntagma Square or contact me at [email protected].

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.
