Arizona state ID card found near downtown Phoenix
Description
Found an Arizona state ID card this afternoon around 2:15pm, in the parking lot behind the Phoenix Public Library on East Adams Street near 2nd Avenue. It's a white plastic card with a tiny holographic seal in the upper-right corner and a slightly bent top edge from years in a wallet. The photo shows a person with short dark hair wearing a red shirt; the name field is faint but legible, and the back has a small coffee stain near the magnetic strip. This card clearly matters to its owner, and I’d really like to help get it back—if you recognize it, shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can arrange a safe handoff.

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.
