Found keys with red tag and blue keychain
Description
I found a set of keys this morning around 8:45am in the parking lot behind the downtown Gainesville Public Library on Main Street. The bundle includes a silver house key on a battered black leather fob, a brass car key, and a few other metal keys. A bright red plastic tag stamped with 'Mom' is attached, and there’s a small blue silicone keychain with a white star. One key has a noticeable dent on the bow, making the whole set easy to identify. The keys look a bit dirty from rain, but they still feel usable. I’d love to get them back to their owner—if these are yours, please message me here and we’ll figure out how to reunite 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.
