Nashville work ID badge on red lanyard
Description
I lost my Nashville work ID badge yesterday around 3pm. It's a plastic card the size of a credit card, on a bright red lanyard with my photo and the name Priya Patel printed on it. I last had it near the Starbucks on Broadway in downtown Nashville, then wandered past the Ryman Auditorium. The back has a small sticker that reads ENG-12 and there's a coffee stain on the lower right corner—it makes it pretty distinctive. I really need it back for building access at work, so I'd be grateful to anyone who finds it and can meet me near the Nashville Public Library or at my office in Midtown. If you found it, please email me at [email protected].

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.
