Neon yellow wristband and ticket – lost
Description
I lost my neon yellow festival wristband and a single-entry concert ticket yesterday around 3pm near the Rutgers College Avenue Campus, by the Rutgers Student Center on College Ave in New Brunswick, Central NJ. The wristband is silicone, bright neon yellow, with a tiny red NFC chip visible near the clasp and a small scratch along the inner edge. The ticket is a standard white card with a blue border and a faint star logo in the corner; the barcode is intact but the card got creased during my commute. The wristband was a gift from my sister and means a lot to me—really hoping to get them back. If you found them, reach out here or at [email protected].

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.
