Description
I was wearing my daily contact lens yesterday around 3pm when I realized one was missing. I probably dropped it near the Scottsbluff Public Library on 9th Street, outside the main entrance by the benches. The lens is clear with a faint blue tint and sits in a small red-lid plastic case that has a tiny dent and the initials AF etched on the lid. This is essential for my vision, so I'm really hoping to get it back soon. If you found it, please drop me a message and I’ll swing by to pick it up.

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.
