Description
I found a set of keys this afternoon around 2:45pm in the parking lot behind the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. There are about 5 keys on a black metal ring, plus a blue nylon lanyard with a white fox logo and a small red enamel keychain shaped like a guitar pick with the initials JL. One of the keys has a Ford emblem, and there’s a noticeable dent on the edge of the keyring itself. I figured someone would want them back, so here they are. If the owner sees this, feel free to reach out here and we can figure out the best way to return them.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
