Blue contact lens case with J.S. initials
Description
I lost my blue Bausch & Lomb contact lens case yesterday around 5pm near the Covered Market on Market Street in Oxford. It's a small plastic case, about 2 inches long, with a white lid and a tiny scratch along the hinge. There's a small sticker with the initials 'J.S.' on the lid, and the inside still has my daily lens solution label. I really rely on this case to wear my contacts, and I feel anxious without it because my eyes need them every day. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can meet at the Oxford Central Library or arrange a pickup nearby.

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.
