Description
Hey, I realized I lost my set of silver house keys yesterday around 3pm. I think I last had them in the parking lot behind the Starbucks on Stockdale Highway in Bakersfield. The keys are on a blue nylon lanyard and include a standard silver house key, a car key with a black plastic head, plus a small brass owl charm attached to a red silicone tag with the initials 'MK'. It's really important to me because the set also has a spare apartment key and a photo charm of my late granddad; I'm really worried I won't be able to get back into my place 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.
