Blue contact lens case with AR initials
Description
I lost my blue silicone contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Maria Public Library on South Broadway. It holds two lenses with the same prescription, and the case is marked with the initials 'AR' on the bottom. The case is translucent blue with a small dent on the lid and a coffee stain on the inside from yesterday’s latte, so it's easy to spot. I wear daily contacts, and losing it disrupts my routine; the case was a gift from my sister last year, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back to me at [email protected].

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.
