Blue hotel employee ID badge on red lanyard
Description
Found a blue hotel employee ID badge this afternoon around 2:30pm near the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, at the entrance to Ocean Walk Shoppes on Atlantic Ave. It's a vertical plastic card on a red lanyard with a small palm-tree charm. The name printed on the badge is L. Haddad and it says Guest Services under the photo, with a subtle Sunset Bay Resort logo at the top. There's a light scratch along the bottom edge and a faint watermark across the photo area. It looks fairly new but the lanyard has a couple of stray threads. If this is yours, drop me a note and we can meet up near the Boardwalk to return it.

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.
