Description
On Tuesday at around 3:20pm I found a folder with Travel Visas tossed near the South Bank, just outside the National Theatre. The papers peeked out of a brown envelope, with stamps from several countries and a passport photo peeking through. I can only imagine the stress of losing something so important, so I kept the folder safe and handed it in at the local Lost and Found desk near Covent Garden. If the owner sees this, they know the documents were kept secure and now rest with the desk staff, waiting to be reunited with the rightful owner.

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.
