White business card with contact details near Purdue Memorial
Description
I lost my white business card with my contact details yesterday around 3pm near the Purdue Memorial Union on Grant Street in West Lafayette. It's a standard 3.5 by 2 inch card, white with blue ink: my name Priya Patel in bold, followed by 'Freelance Designer' and a small teal logo in the corner. There's a tiny coffee ring on the bottom left and the back side has a faint pencil drawing of a cat I doodled during a meeting. I really need it back—it's the only copy of my direct email and cell number, and it helps me stay reachable for clients and interviews. If you spot it, you can text the number on the card or email me.

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.
