Emergency contact info card in wallet
Description
Category: Lost Contact. I lost my emergency contact info card yesterday around 3pm while walking from Millennium Park along Michigan Ave toward the Art Institute. It's a small laminated 2x3 inch card with a bright red border and a tiny QR code on the back; it lives in my black leather wallet. It lists my name, Priya Patel, and two emergency numbers, and it’s the quickest way to reach my family in an emergency—so it has sentimental value to me and I’d be relieved to get it back. If you find it, please text me at 773-555-0123 or email [email protected]. I last recall it near the Bean area (Cloud Gate) by Millennium Park, possibly around the Chicago Cultural Center.

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.
