Found keys on red carabiner keychain
Description
I found a set of keys this morning around 9:15am in the Destin Commons parking lot, near the north entrance by the bike racks on Emerald Coast Parkway in Okaloosa/Walton County. The bundle is on a bright red carabiner with a black leather fob. There are about five keys total: a standard house key that looks like a Schlage, a Toyota car key with a chip, and a small brass skeleton key. One key has a blue silicone grip with a tiny white whale emblem, and there's a circular metal tag etched 'Harborview' hanging from the ring. They're a bit dirty from the pavement but otherwise in good condition. If these belong to someone, I’d be glad to help get them back.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
