Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses, tortoiseshell, blue case
Description
I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm near the CSU Bookstore on College Ave in Fort Collins. They’re tortoiseshell with a tiny chip on the lower-left lens, and they live in a blue zippered case with a white Ray-Ban logo. I think I last had them while walking from the library toward College Ave, around the CSU Bookstore area and the bus stop at Laurel Street. They have sentimental value—they were a gift from my grandmother and I’ve worn them every day for years. If someone found them, please drop them off at the CSU Bookstore Lost & Found or at the Fort Collins Public Library; I’d be forever grateful to get them back.

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.
