Blue ID card on sea-green lanyard
Description
I lost my blue plastic ID card yesterday around 3pm. It's a standard Key West Medical Center staff ID, about the size of a credit card, with my photo on the left and 'Key West Medical Center – Staff' printed at the top. The lanyard is sea-green fabric with a small brass anchor charm, and the card has a tiny crack along the bottom edge; there's also a charity sticker on the back from 'Friends of the Conch'. I last used it near Mallory Square and along Duval Street by the old ferry terminal. I really need it back—it has my name, department, and it’s essential for work, plus it feels sentimental to me since I wear it daily.

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.
