Black Wayfarer-style glasses with red temples
Description
I lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses yesterday around 3:15 pm near the CMU Union at the campus bookstore on University Avenue in Mount Pleasant. They're prescription glasses, standard size, with a black frame and distinctive red temple tips; there is a tiny dent on the left temple from a light fall last week. I was studying in the coffee shop inside the bookstore when I last had them in hand, and I must have left them on a chair outside. They’re my daily pair and they have sentimental value—my only prescription set, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up. If you found them, please email me at [email protected]; I’d be grateful to get them back.

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.
