Blue ID badge lanyard with photo
Description
I lost my blue ID badge lanyard this afternoon. It's a blue nylon lanyard with a metal clip and a rectangular badge attached. The badge shows my name and a small photo, and there's a tiny dent on the clip from a tumble last week. There’s also a tiny white star sticker on the back of the badge, a quirky detail I can use to ID it. I last had it near the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, around Ocean Boulevard and 9th Ave North, around 3pm today, near the SkyWheel. The lanyard is important because the badge uses my work access and reminds me of a friend who gave it to me; I’d really appreciate getting it back.

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.
