North Platte student ID on blue lanyard
Description
I lost my white North Platte State College student ID yesterday around 3pm near the North Platte Public Library on 4th Street. It’s a standard rectangular ID about the size of a credit card, with my photo on the left and my name in bold black letters, attached to a blue lanyard with a small silver clip. There are a couple of distinguishing marks: a tiny coffee stain on the back and a hairline scratch along the bottom edge, plus the corner is gently bent. This card is essential for campus access and it has sentimental value because I’ve used it every day for classes and entry to the dorms. If anyone finds it, please reach out—I’d be incredibly grateful to get 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.
