Blue ID badge with red lanyard found
Description
I found a blue plastic ID badge this afternoon around 3:20 pm in the parking lot behind the Cumberland Valley Library on Oak Street. It’s on a bright red lanyard and is about the size of a credit card, with a small photo of a person in a gray blazer in the corner. The badge says 'Cumberland Valley School District' and 'Employee' with the name 'Alex Nguyen' printed across the middle, plus a tiny coffee stain on the back and a peeled sticker that reads 'Volunteer' near the bottom. If this belongs to you, I’d like to get it back—we can meet near the library entrance or coordinate here to arrange a pickup.

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.
