MSU Mankato student ID card
Description
I lost my white Minnesota State University student ID card yesterday around 3pm outside the MSU Bookstore on Stadium Road, near the campus library entrance in Mankato. It's a white plastic card with a blue stripe across the top, my photo on the left and my name in bold black letters; the back has a small coffee stain and a dent on the bottom-right corner. I really need it back because it's my key to borrowing library books and getting into several campus buildings, and it also has sentimental value since it was with me through my first year here. If you find it, please reach out.

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.
