ID card with red lanyard and photo
Description
I lost my work ID card yesterday around 3pm, somewhere around Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids. It's a standard employee badge on a red lanyard for TechForward Solutions. The photo on the card is me, Priya Kapoor, and the badge has a coffee ring on the back plus a small sunflower sticker near the bottom-right corner. The lanyard is slightly worn at the seam. This card gives me access to the office building and the coworking space, so I’m really worried about it being misused. If found, you can drop it at the Grand Rapids Public Library downtown desk or email [email protected].

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.
