Blue contact lens case with star sticker
Description
I lost my blue contact lens case yesterday around 6:15pm near the CVS on West Broad Street in Richmond. The case is clear plastic with a bright blue star sticker on the lid and a tiny crack along the rim. Inside are two daily lenses from my old prescription, and the case has a faint scribble mark on the bottom from a lab sticker long ago. It’s sentimental because it belonged to my grandmother, and I was hoping to keep wearing her favorite lenses through a tough week. If someone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can arrange a safe drop-off at the Richmond Main Library on Franklin Street or the CVS.

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.
