Blue employee ID badge with photo
Description
I lost my blue employee ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the Pearl Street Grille on Delaware Ave in downtown Buffalo. It's a standard plastic card about the size of a credit card, with my photo on the left, wearing a navy blazer, and an orange stripe across the top. There's a small dent on the bottom-right corner, and I even left a tiny sticker from a local coffee roaster on the back. The name on the card is 'Alex Rivera' and it's my access badge for the office - really need it back to get into work. If anyone found it, please drop it at the Buffalo Downtown Lost & Found or message me; I'd be so grateful and it has my work and personal info on it.

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.
