Blue SDSU student ID with photo
Description
I lost my blue-edged SDSU student ID card yesterday around 5pm near the Starbucks on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego. It's a standard white plastic card the size of a credit card, with a bright blue border and my photo on the left; the back has a tiny compass sticker and a small dent on the bottom-right corner from a bike rack. This ID is essential for campus access and it also serves as proof of enrollment, so it feels really important to get it back. If someone finds it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a quick meetup near Seaport Village or downtown.

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.
