Keys on blue turtle keychain with car and house keys
Description
I lost my keys yesterday around 3:15pm near the Starbucks on Water Street in downtown Eau Claire. The ring has four keys: a silver Schlage front door key, a black Ford car key with the Ford logo on the fob, a small brass mailbox key, and a tiny bike-lock key. The set is on a bright blue rubber turtle keychain that's a bit scuffed and has a white stripe along the shell. There's also a small dent in the car key and a yellow sticker with the initials 'PN' on the house key. The turtle charm makes it easy to spot and the sticker is unique. I really need them back for my apartment and my car. If anyone found them, let me know—email [email protected]. Thank you.

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.
