Description
I lost my NMU student ID card yesterday around 3pm. It's a blue laminated ID with my photo, name Priya Patel, and the NMU logo on the back. It was attached to a purple lanyard and I was last seen near the Superior Dome on Presque Isle Ave after finishing class at the Science Building. The card has a tiny coffee stain on the lower right corner and a small crease along the edge. It really matters to me because it's my campus access and it has sentimental value—I'd be really relieved to get it back before exams. If anyone found it, 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.
