Lost Driver's License near Port Townsend waterfront
Description
I was leaving the Port Townsend ferry terminal around 6:15 p.m. this Sunday when I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet. I retraced my steps along the wooden boardwalk by the water and down toward the tiny shops near the lighthouse, hoping it slipped into my bag or a pocket I forgot. The sunset lit Puget Sound in gold, which felt cruel as I heard a ping of worry in my chest. This license is more than a card—it's a link to responsibilities and a reminder of my upcoming trip. If anyone found it, I’m praying it’s nearby, safe, and waiting to be returned to me through this site.

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.
