Found ID badge with blue lanyard
Description
I found this ID badge this afternoon around 3:15pm near the pedestrian entrance to the International Bridge in Eagle Pass, along Main Street near the riverfront. It's a standard plastic employee ID with a photo of a man in his 30s, the name 'Miguel Alvarez' printed in bold, and a blue lanyard with a small silver clip. The back has a few faint ink marks—looks like a handwritten contact note—and the badge has a slight crease along the left edge from being dropped. This badge looks important for work and was a little worrying to find, so I want to get it back to its owner as soon as possible. If you’re the owner or recognize this, drop me a line and I’ll pass it along.

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.
