Description
I lost my small white business card yesterday around 3pm outside the Safeway on Virginia Dare Trail in Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks. It's the size of a typical card, with my name 'Priya Patel' in bold and a tiny seashell logo in the top-right corner. The back has a blue coffee stain and a faint pencil mark along the left edge. It includes my work email and cell number; this card means a lot to me because it also has my mom's emergency contact note, which makes it sentimental. If anyone finds it, please text me—I'm really hoping 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.
