Blue London City University staff ID badge
Description
I lost my blue City University staff ID badge yesterday around 3pm outside Tate Modern on Bankside, near the Millennium Bridge. It's a standard credit-card sized badge—the left side has my photo and the top right shows a tiny London crest; the back includes a faint department code ENG-12, and the lower edge is slightly bent. There’s also a small scratch along the bottom edge that catches on my pocket when I carry it. I really need it back—it's essential for office access and I’ve already flagged it with security, but no luck so far. If you find it, please drop it at Tate Modern reception or message me here; I’d be incredibly grateful.

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.
