Columbus college ID card in blue lanyard
Description
I lost my Columbus campus ID card yesterday around 3pm near the North Market on Market Street. It's a white plastic ID in a blue fabric lanyard, with a small silver anchor charm attached to the lanyard. The name Priya Kapoor is printed on the card, and there’s a tiny coffee stain on the back corner. I use this ID to unlock the library and enter the student center, so it’s kind of a lifeline for my day-to-day classes. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back—I'm really hoping it turns up near Market Street or in the area around the North Market, maybe dropped near the benches outside the market building.

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.
