Description
I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday around 3pm after leaving the Danville Library on Main Street and wandering into the Coffee Nook on Oak Avenue. It’s a standard US passport, tucked in a black leather sleeve with a small coffee ring on the front cover and a tiny dent on the lower-right corner. Inside the back cover there’s a faint sticker of a mountain that I added for a quick spot check. This passport has sentimental value for me and I really need it back—it's essential for an upcoming work trip and I don’t want to miss my flight.

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.
