Ohio ID card with blue lanyard
Description
I lost my Ohio state ID card yesterday around 3pm outside the West Side Market on West 25th Street in Cleveland. It's inside a black plastic sleeve, attached to a blue lanyard with white stripes. The photo on the card is me with short brown hair; the back has a small holographic state seal. There's a faint coffee stain on the lower-right corner of the sleeve. This ID is essential for work tomorrow, and it's got sentimental value—it's the way I identify myself when I get through security and travel. If you found it, please drop it at the West Side Market Information Desk or ping me on the app so we can arrange a pickup near Public Square.

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.
