Blue US passport with gold seal
Description
I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm. It was tucked inside a brown leather passport holder that’s a bit scuffed. The passport itself is the standard dark blue cover with the gold Great Seal and the letters ‘United States of America’ across the top. There’s a small coffee stain along the back cover and a tiny crease on the bottom-right corner from my bag. I last had it near the Devon Tower in downtown Oklahoma City, around the parking garage entrance on Sheridan Ave, close to the Bricktown Canal. This passport is essential for travel and I really need it back; it has sentimental value because it’s my link to a planned trip and I’d hate to cancel. If you happened to spot it, you can reach 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.
