Black VIP ticket stub for Finger Lakes Wine Festival
Description
Lost my black VIP ticket stub for the Finger Lakes Wine Festival yesterday around 3:15pm. It’s a glossy 2.5 x 5 inch card with white print and a red grape logo at the top; the bottom has a barcode and a faint coffee stain along the lower edge. The corner is slightly bent from being shoved into a tote, and on the back I stuck a tiny blue sticker with my initials 'PR' for a quick ID. This ticket was a gift from my sister and it means a lot to me—really hoping to get it back so I can pick up my wristband before the event. If you found it, please reach out in the app and we can arrange a safe return.

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.
