Description
Lost my keys yesterday around 3pm in downtown Augusta, near Broad Street by the CVS and the Augusta Common. It's a small black metal keyring with three keys and a red silicone heart-shaped keychain. One key is a brass house key with a tiny dent near the bow, the other two are standard metal keys; the heart keychain has a small scratch from daily use. The ring is slightly worn from jingling in my pocket all week. I really need them back - my apartment key is on there, and there's a sentimental photo tucked in my wallet that I'd hate to lose.

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.
