Work ID badge on red lanyard
Description
I lost my work ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the City Museum on Grand Ave in St. Louis. It's a white plastic card on a bright red lanyard. The front shows my photo—short black hair, blue blazer—and the name 'Priya Patel' with a small circular blue logo in the corner. There's a tiny scratch along the bottom-right edge and a faint stamp on the back that reads 'Property of CityBound Logistics.' This badge unlocks access to our building, so I'm really worried and would appreciate getting it back as soon as possible. If you find it, please text me and we can arrange a safe drop near Union Station or at a public spot.

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.
