Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with red engraving
Description
I lost my black matte Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on 12th Ave South in the 12South neighborhood. They're the classic Wayfarer shape, black matte frame, with a tiny red star engraving on the inside of the left temple. The left lens has a hairline scratch near the top corner, barely noticeable unless you inspect it. They came with a slim black leather case that has my blue initials stitched inside. They were a gift from my mom and I’ve worn them every day for years; I really need them back. If you’ve seen them, DM me or email me with any information.

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.
