Keyring with blue tag found near Beacon Train Station
Description
I found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Beacon Train Station on Main Street in Beacon, NY. They're on a sturdy metal ring with a bright blue plastic tag that has the initials 'PH' stamped on it. There are about five keys total, including a Schlage house key and a car key with a small white scratch near the top. One standout piece is a tiny brass owl charm attached to the ring—easy to spot if you know what to look for. The keys look lightly used but functional, and I’ll be glad to get them back to their owner—send me a message in the app with something only you would know about your keys, and we can arrange a meetup nearby.

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.
