Blue TechCore ID badge on lanyard
Description
I lost my blue-and-silver TechCore Solutions employee ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the EpiCentre on Tryon Street in Uptown Charlotte. It's a standard 3x2 inch plastic card, white with the TechCore logo in the top left and a photo of me in the middle; my name 'Priya Patel' is printed in bold underneath. The lanyard is a blue nylon strap, a little frayed at the ends, with a small metal clip. On the back there's a tiny green sticker that reads 'TEAM A' and a chipped bottom-right corner. This badge gives me access to the office and the garage, and I really need it back to avoid security hassles. If found, email [email protected] so we can verify and arrange pickup.

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.
