Found medical alert bracelet near Roanoke North Medical Center
Description
I found a medical alert bracelet this afternoon around 2:45pm outside the Roanoke North Medical Center entrance on Jefferson Street. It’s a silver-toned bracelet with a small red enamel heart charm that catches the light. The clasp has a tiny engraving 'AL' and there’s a little medical tag tucked under the strap with handwritten initials. I slipped it into the security desk at the entrance, hoping to help the owner get it back soon. If this belongs to you, please reply with the engraving details or tell me the date you last wore it, and I’ll arrange a pickup or drop-off at a convenient location.

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.
