Navy blue US passport with gold lettering
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my navy-blue US passport was missing after I grabbed coffee outside Blind Bob's on Main Street in the Oregon District, Dayton. It's the standard passport book, with a navy cover and gold embossing that says United States of America and Passport. I notice a small coffee ring near the bottom right corner and a slight crease along the spine from travel. Inside, the data page shows my name, Aisha Khan, and birth date, along with a few visa stamps from recent trips. This passport is essential for an upcoming work trip and has sentimental value since it traveled with me on family vacations. If found, contact me at [email protected].

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.
