Black leather business card holder with contact info
Description
I lost my black leather business card holder yesterday around 3pm. It's about the size of a credit card, 4 by 3 inches, with soft matte black leather and a small scuff along the bottom-right edge. A tiny gold compass charm hangs from a loop inside, and my initials 'P.P.' are embossed on the inside metal plate. It holds about a dozen business cards and a couple of scribbled notes with client names. I think I left it on a bench outside the Mattoon Public Library cafe on Charleston Avenue after I printed a quick contact sheet. There’s a faint coffee stain on the back from a last-minute coffee spill. It has sentimental value because those cards are how I keep in touch with clients and friends. I really need it back; if anyone found it, please send me a message here so I can pick it up.

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.
