Description
I found a Tennessee Tech University student ID card this morning around 9:15am in front of the Putnam County Public Library on West Broad Street in Cookeville. It's in a slightly worn black plastic sleeve, and the card itself shows a photo of a person in a red hoodie. The name on the card reads Priya Patel, and the back has a small coffee stain plus a blue TTU lanyard clip attached to the sleeve. ID cards like this are important, and I'd feel awful if someone loses it for days, so if you're Priya or know her, I hope we can connect.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
