Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses, matte black
Description
I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses yesterday around 3pm outside Guero's Taco Bar on South Congress Ave in Austin. They’re matte black plastic frames, medium fit, with a small scratch along the bottom edge of the left lens and a tiny chip near the nose pad. Inside the left temple there’s a tiny engraving P.P. that I added years ago, which is one of the few distinguishing marks. The glasses were a gift from my mom last year and I really need them back for work and driving. If anyone found them, I’d be endlessly grateful to get them back; this has sentimental value and I’m worried about my vision without them.

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.
