Description
Found a set of keys this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Lake Charles Civic Center on Broad Street. They're on a frayed blue lanyard with a bright red carabiner clip and a silver Toyota key plus a brass house key. The panda charm on the keychain is hard to miss, and one key has a small dent near the blade. The keys look a bit worn but functional, and there’s a faded sticker that says 'KC 23' on the keyring. If this sounds like yours, I’d be glad to hand them back to you near the Civic Center or at the nearby library later this afternoon.

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.
