Navy blue US passport with gold seal
Description
I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday around 3pm outside the Easton Public Market on West Dover Street in Easton, MD, on the Eastern Shore. The cover is navy blue with a gold eagle and a bit worn around the edges from travel. Inside, there's a small coffee stain on the back cover and a faded lighthouse sticker I stuck on years ago near the inside back page. This passport has sentimental value and I really need it back for an upcoming trip. If you found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back; you can drop it at the Easton Police Department or message me through the app.

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.
