Black car keys on red heart keychain
Description
Lost my black Ford car keys yesterday around 3pm outside the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street, near the cafe entrance. They’re attached to a bright red heart-shaped keychain and I’ve got a tiny silver USB drive clipped to the ring. The main fob has a slight scratch on the corner and there’s a small sticker on the back with initials 'PK'. This set also includes my apartment key, which I really need back because I’m locked out if they don’t turn up. It’s sentimental—the heart keychain was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

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.
