Found keys with blue lanyard near Walmart, Dodge City
Description
I found a set of keys this morning around 10:15am in the parking lot behind the Walmart Supercenter on Wyatt Earp Blvd in Dodge City, Southwest Kansas. On the ring there are two brass house keys and a silver Ford car key fob with a small dent on the corner; everything's a bit worn but functional. A red plastic tag reads 'MEL' and there's also a faded blue USB tag attached, so the set is easy to spot if you know what to look for. They’re in decent shape overall, and I’d really like to get them back to their owner—if these sound like yours, we can meet up in the Walmart lot or by the Dodge City Public Library to swap.

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.
