Portland white work ID badge with lanyard
Description
I lost my white, standard-size work ID badge yesterday around 3pm near Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland. It's a white plastic card, about the size of a credit card, with my photo on the left and my name in bold on the right, plus a slightly worn black magnetic stripe on the back. It's on a dark gray nylon lanyard with a small silver clip. A couple of identifying touches: a small pink cat sticker on the back of the badge sleeve and a faint coffee stain near the bottom edge—plus a tiny chip on the top-right corner. I really need it back to get into the building; it’s my access to work. If someone found it, I’d appreciate a quick note.

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.
