Tortoiseshell Ray-Ban reading glasses lost
Description
I lost my tortoiseshell Ray-Ban reading glasses yesterday around 3pm near the coffee shop on 4th Street, right by the fountain outside the Patee House area in St Joseph. They’re slim rectangular frames, brown tortoiseshell, about medium size, with a slight scratch on the left temple. The inside of the right temple is engraved with my initials 'PP'. They came in a black zip case with a red lining, and there’s a faint coffee stain on the case from yesterday. These glasses mean a lot to me—they were a gift from my grandmother and I really need them back; I’d be incredibly grateful to whoever found them.

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.
